NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of The Night Circus, a timeless love story set in a secret underground world—a place of pirates, painters, lovers, liars, and ships that sail upon a starless sea.

Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood.

Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues—a bee, a key, and a sword—that lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club, and through a doorway to an ancient library hidden far below the surface of the earth. What Zachary finds in this curious place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardians—it is a place of lost cities and seas, lovers who pass notes under doors and across time, and of stories whispered by the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrificed much to protect this realm, relinquishing their sight and their tongues to preserve this archive, and also of those who are intent on its destruction.

Together with Mirabel, a fierce, pink-haired protector of the place, and Dorian, a handsome, barefoot man with shifting alliances, Zachary travels the twisting tunnels, darkened stairwells, crowded ballrooms, and sweetly soaked shores of this magical world, discovering his purpose—in both the mysterious book and in his own life.

If I had a FRACTION of this woman's creativity and imagination, I mean how can one person craft words so beautiful and dreamlike??? Her books simply feel like coming home to me, stories I will cherish forever ✨

Unique and magical

This is an incredible book. I read it again to check if it’s as good as I remember (because it’s been a while) and it is. It’s better than I remember. The way this story unfolds is so unique. I haven’t read anything quite like it.

Unique and magical

A magical journey through imagination unlike any other

What a masterpiece: This book offers so so much space to dream and make up your own assumptions. Erin Morgenstern has the one of the most beautiful ways to capture even the smallest of moments and turn them into something poetic. Be prepared to go on your own magnificent journey through time and fate.

Unique and mesmerising

Never read a book this confusing, ambitious, thought-through and entirely different than your normal fantasy book. Sometimes the pacing could have been a little faster and I wish I could've seen more of certain characters. But this doesn't take away from how much I enjoyed diving into the stories of the starless sea.

CN: alcohol, death, fire, suicidal ideation, forced drug use, removal of a tongue, branding, kidnapping, drowning, animal death If this book was a smell, it would be the smell of old books. If this book was a taste, it would be the taste of honey. If this book was a feeling, it would be the feeling of finally finding a place where you belong. I read and loved The Night Circus when I was younger, but this book... this book made me feel things I didn't know I was capable of feeling. It's magical, atmospheric and breathtakingly beautiful. It's a story about pirates, bees, lovers, swords, doors and keys. But most importantly, it's a story about stories. This book is definitely not for everyone. Some will find it too long, some will find it too confusing, some will just find it boring. But for me, The Starless Sea is the perfect book.

Schwierig dieses Buch zu bewerten. So viele Geschichten in diesen 500 Seiten, so verhoben und verwirrend, dass ich es bestimmt 5 mal lesen müsste um alle Zusammenhänge zu verstehen. Hat aber spaß gemacht es zu lesen, daher das ist das wichtigste:)

It's been a while since i enjoyed a magical/fantasy/story-driven/idk-what-to-call-it book this much but boy, it made me feel things i didn't know i still could. It reminded me of when i first fell in love with books when i was a child, so thank you for that. And the writing is amazing too. I really tried to take my time with it and i think it deserved it, but i probably could have devoured it in a day or two.

The Starless Sea is quite a difficult book for me to review, mainly because I still, after having thought about it for a few days, don’t know what to think about it. There’s a thin line between beautiful, lyrical writing and writing that is just too much. Unfortunately, #erinmorgenstern was so far past this line, the line seemed like a dot to me (hehe, who gets that reference?

Okay so this book is just … I don't know!! I think I need some more days to get my head right after that journey!! I will come back and write more when I can put all my thoughts into words.
