Beautiful rhythmic art penned across every page with animated characters in magical settings…all I can say is that I find the end of her works so very sad. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A Complicated Wonderland *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2019* It’s been quite some time since Erin Morgenstern graced us with her fantastical masterpiece, The Night Circus. Eight years later, we have now been gifted with The Starless Sea. I might not love it as much as The Night Circus, but I do love it for its ability to capture stardust on the page.I believe that it is an indisputable fact that Morgenstern is a masterful writer. Her prose is lush and vivid, nuanced and elegant. Her words roll and glide on the page, coaxing her readers into the ebb and flow of her lyrical style of storytelling. Her newest book is reminiscent of the enchanting nature of The Night Circus as she skillfully guides her readers into a gripping tale of magically enticing impossibilities and what-ifs.This story is a story about stories. A book about books. A choose your own adventure that compels and disorients. It is a book lover’s gilded dream drenched in honey, a dream that spirals into endless hallways ending in multiple doors that challenge one’s sensibilities.Morgenstern creates a kaleidoscope of dreams and eerie tales, all weaved together to form a larger picture that comments on the nature of the dream and the dreamer, the creation of stories and the telling of them.I can wax poetic all day about the quality of Morgenstern’s writing, so I’ll try now to focus on the quality of the story. It’s an ambitious one, to be sure. And if I were being honest, it can be a bit of a chore to try to understand.Morgenstern’s strength lies in her world-building. The world she has created in this book is so omnipresent that it in of itself becomes a character. So much so that the actual characters get lost in the midst of it. I’d be hard-pressed to give specific details about Zachary Ezra Rawlins. Much of what happens in this book has been impressed upon him. He is a reactionary character that walks along an uncertain path that has been constructed by creatures of a cosmic origin. I can’t really describe much of who he is without the Starless Sea and its Harbors, and I can say much the same about Mirabel, Dorian, the Keeper, and many of the other characters.Usually, I’d be a bit put off by the lack of character development and proper character arcs, but the setting is so potent and captivating that I’d be making an exception just for this book. I do have one issue in that the romance between Zachary and Dorian isn’t very hard-won and it relies entirely too much on the personality of the narrative, which is overwhelmingly poetic and fantastical. It comes along too swiftly and isn’t very convincing by the whole.The Starless Sea is an intricate, wonderland of experimentation that guides readers through a journey outfitted with doors and keys, liquor and gold, honey and dreams. It is sweet and smooth, and very hard to understand. The miniature stories within the larger story are easy to connect, but the story outside the dividing paths can be a bit harder to grasp. Which is why I can see why this book might not be for everybody.It can get a bit tiresome by the end to try to hold on to and understand such a multi-dimensional narrative frame. I can’t say that I comprehended every little detail. But I appreciate the work that went into constructing such a vast world of rational irrationality. The creativity of The Starless Sea, the language, and the imagery are delightful, aesthetic treats of expression.And for that alone, I love this book. It’s not an easy thing to lose oneself to, but once you’ve fallen into this rabbit hole of pure literary madness, you have nothing to do but climb back out, slowly and surely, admiring all the twisty pathways and visual feasts Morgenstern has provided along the way. At times it may get tedious, repetitive, and even pretentious, but when you keep the focus on the setting and the overall magical nature of the prose and not think about the specifics, you can disappear for a bit and just let yourself dream. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Confused by some reviews here *by M***Z on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2021* It's not very often that I come across books that I want to read again. It's not that you have to read Starless Sea more than once to "get it", for me, it was that I wanted to, and when I did, I picked up on things I missed the first time and I enjoyed some things even more the second time.There are stories within stories and I enjoyed the moon story almost as much as I enjoyed the main story. I read a critique on here about the gay love story so I was a little apprehensive expecting Brokeback Mountain and was left baffled by that critique. As a matter of fact, one of the things that I like about Erin Morgenstern's style is that she develops romance through thought. There is longing, yes, but if it was a movie it would be rated G, not even PG, unless the idea of a same sex couple likng/thinking about each other needs parental guidance. Then again, this isn't a children's book, so unless this would make you uncomfortable, there is no need to let this keep you from reading this book.Also, I read where the drinking bothered some people. Again, this made me think,... oh no, I don't want to read about lots of drunks... and again I'm glad I didn't let this stop me from checking it out for myself. Yes there is drinking involved. I'd say think MadMen or maybe a little less. As a little something extra, I love how polite the main characters were.Another thing I read here more than once that people who liked this book liked The Night Circus more. This may be a thing of whichever book of her's you read first will be your favorite because I read Starless first, became a fan, so then bought Circus and I like Circus, but loved Starless. I know one other person who read these books in this order and he too enjoyed Starless more than Circus. I noticed this with people who've read all the Dan Brown books too. Their favorites seem to be whichever one they read first.Overall, this is a magical book that I'm glad I own because I enjoyed rereading it even more than reading it the first time around. Thank you Erin Morgenstern for this wonderful adventure. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/101719537-the-starless-sea-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/101719537-the-starless-sea-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
