A review by amberw95
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

Did not finish book. Stopped at 74%.

This book was a whole bunch of disconnected partially completed stories. I was hoping everything would come together in a compelling way, but at 74% the existing stories have not been linked, and new stories keep being introduced that are not cohesive with the world building up to that point. Introducing time travel and reincarnation in the second half of a book with little to no explanation exceeds my ability to suspend disbelief. While I did enjoy the smaller sub stories, I find myself annoyed they they are left incomplete in favor of endless pages of Zachary bumbling around an over-hyped underground library. And don't even get me started on the so called LGBT "romance" between two characters who couldn't possibly have any less chemistry.
