Stardust by Neil Gaiman
4.0

4/5 stars
Stardust follows a young man named Tristan who is tasked by the woman he loves, to catch a fallen star. Tristan’s love is unreciprocated and he hopes that by collecting this star he can win her over. In order to retrieve the star he needs to venture over the mysterious wall and into Faerie.
This was a reread for me. The first time I read Stardust I found it quite charming, but a bit odd. This second time around I decided to listen to the audiobook and I really feel that Gaiman’s narration added a whole new layer of depth to the story and made me enjoy it a lot more. This truly is a fairytale for adults, with all the whimsy and magic you’d expect of such a story.
