5.0
first read (3/10/2021)
wow wow wow
this book is pure genius
this has to be the prettiest, most interesting prose i have ever had the pleasure to read. the way erin morgenstern has created worlds within worlds within universes in brilliant !!
this book makes you question everything and then, as it continues, answers every question you could have possibly thought of.
it has romance, it has fantasy and magic, it has sublime world- and character-building, it has a dark academia vibe, and it has stories that you will never forget.
this is absolutely my new favourite book wowie

“Strange, isn’t it? To love a book. When the words on the pages become so precious that they feel like part of your own history because they are.”
it will never cease to amaze me the way that Erin Morgenstern is able to construct such a rich, vibrant, detailed world without ever info-dumping on the reader. this book is a love letter to whimsical and fantastical storytelling, to magic, and to the pleasure of academia and knowledge. The Starless Sea is the epitome of why i love reading.
i could talk about this book for eternity; about the wondrous journey that Morgenstern takes the reader on, and about the stories within this story. no other author has ever made me so damn confused, but then been able to answer every question i have ever had, and questions i had not even considered, in a way that was enchanting, dazzling, and never boring.
my favourite book ever. this book is a personality trait of mine. this book is embedded in my soul. this book is a part of me and i am eternally grateful for Erin Morgenstern’s writing ability.
