Okay so...I read the first 20/25% of this fully then just skimmed the rest. I’m honestly really disappointed, I was predicting that I’d like this book bc of all the hype and the plot just sounds magical...but alas...

I can’t really think of much I liked in this book, the idea was good, the plot sounds good...but it just wasn’t executed in a way I enjoyed. I was just soooo bored of the 1/4 I read, I think Erin Morgernstern isn’t really for me. I didn’t like the ”Starless Sea” like at all and was hoping this would redeem her for me but sadly its the same result. Maybe in the future if she releases another book I’ll give it a go and see but for now I just can’t get on with her writing. The writing was really over the top for me and too lyrical but at the same time I was so bored by what was happening. I had the same kinda issue in her other book, it just didn’t work for me.

Atleast the edition I have is absolutely gorgeous and will look nice on my shelf :’)
