The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
5.0

"He believes in books, that much he knows for sure."


The Starless Sea is a book lover's book about book lovers, and the things they're willing to do for the story. It feels like a grown-up Inkworld, a fantastical experience to watch piece together page after page.


"These doors will sing, silent siren songs for those who seek what lies behind them. For those who feel homesick for a place they've never been to."


Erin Morgenstern weaves these stories in and out of each other in a way that makes this book feel like home. Each chapter has a new experience waiting, and each closing of a chapter leaves you hungry for more. While the book is slow to start, the more you dig into it, the more you want of it. It is a beautifully written, and wonderfully made book. Well worth waiting for.


"We are the stars. We are all stardust and stories."
