Praise For This Book:
A best book of the year: The Guardian, Good Housekeeping, Real Simple, and The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Anyone who's read Erin Morgenstern's wildly successful fiction debut, The Night Circus, knows how meticulously she crafts her imaginary worlds... the reader [is] immersed in a multitude of stories, the threads of which gradually weave together to a haunting conclusion."-NPR "A mythical tale...a story about stories, all essentially relating to Fate and Time. Morgenstern nests a glittering trove of meta-narratives, myths, folkloric fables within a main storyline about a hero's quest. The Starless Sea is the kind of book that could spawn a Harry Potteresque cult. I can imagine fan sites devoted to mapping, analyzing and connecting the dots among its fantastical intricacies. I predict readers for whom it will become a holy of holies, one of their most treasured books of all time. It's that kind of book. "-Newsday "A richly imaginative ode to books and storytelling...this fantasy-filled novel entwines a mysterious underground world with the story of a grad student on a quest to understand his past." -People "From the author of The Night Circus comes a wildly fanciful lark that has all the hits: mystery, love, libraries, Harry Potter references, and pirates. It's a complex, darkly beautiful story with some of the most inventive storytelling we've read all year."-Good Housekeeping, Best Book of 2019 "The most joyous reading experience I've had in recent memory... It is, not to put too fine a point on it, wonderful... a master-class in plotting and prestidigitation... unabashedly romantic... a warm, honeyed bath of words and ideas."-Robert Wiersema, The Toronto Star "Assuredly beautiful... The novel reads like panel after panel of mythic illustrations... It demands that its readers interpret it in an older way; the way we read The Faerie Queene... Well-written... The novel's scope and ambition are undeniable."-Natasha Pulley, The Guardian Publisher's Website |
