This book is like a dream. It's fantastic and magical but at times disjointed. Not exactly hard to follow you kindof just go with it but with so many storylines that are interwoven which is brilliant but at times I feel lost. I'm not even done yet but I already feel I have to reread it but it's a LONG book, not sure I'm up to the challenge. The ending is really going to make or break this book for me, no pressure.

You can tell that Morganstern likes short stories. Fairy tales. Myths. Both in The Night Circus (Widget's story was one of my favorite parts, granted it was basically the story of Merlin) and in The Starless Sea. I think so far The Starless Sea has been a brilliant way to publish original short stories by hiding them throughout the narrative of a novel about secret societies.
