So far nothing has even come close to Coraline. But I still did enjoy Stardust. I was thoroughly entertained. The writing was bit misogynistic at times and certain things have not aged well. Like I hate when male authors go into great lengths sexualizing female characters and then just describe eye colour of male characters. 

Also the ending felt incomplete.
Like why did the witch just accept defeat in the end? She was so badass like a few chapters ago. It felt out of character for her.
