Please don't ask me what happened in this book, I only know that I love it. ♥️
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.
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.
