Description
Those of us who loved The Night Circus have waited nearly a decade for Erin Morgensternâ€s
next novel and The Starless Sea does not disappoint. In fact, Morgensternâ€s enchanted touch
with words and imagery, so vivid itâ€s impossible not to picture even the most delicate of
details, is as exquisite as ever. The Starless Sea is a love letter to books and readers, a
masterpiece of stories within a story where fables of pirates and princesses converge with the
saga of Zachary Ezra Rawlins, the son of a fortune teller. A series of unusual events leads Rawlins
to a secret repository of books and fairy tales, a place that contains worlds within time and
somewhere a starless sea. Rawlins falls in love first with a book and later a person, both of which
compel him to embark on a dangerous journey through time and place, lost loves, and lives lived
again and again. I was delighted by Morgensternâ€s nods to the beloved world-bending classic
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and—as I began to hope for in a book with many magical
doors—Narnia. The Starless Sea reveals increasing layers of complexity as fiction and reality
start to blend, and characters collide in surprising ways. I could go on and on about the beauty of
Morgensternâ€s writing, and the symbolism of the bee, the key, and the sword, but instead I will
tell you that the night I finished this book I dreamt about it. And it was pure magic —Seira Wilson,

is not simply a quest narrative–itâ€s also a meta-examination of stories that demands the
readerâ€s patience–and then rewards it... Morgensternâ€s elegant, poetic prose keeps the
pages turning as she begins to draw connections within a web of tales that reads like an ode to
stories, themselves, and celebrates the distinct pleasure that comes from engaging with a text. For
Zachary, that pleasure outweighs any temptation he might have to return to school and his regular
life. It leads, instead, to a journey of sacrifice and self-discovery as he unearths his own place in
the puzzling bookâ€s narrative. For everyone else, the thrill comes from watching him on the
ride.' —Annabel Gutterman, Time'Erin Morgenstern has magic to make... the author returns
with a new fantastical fairy-tale for grown-ups... Comparisons to the likes of Tolkien, Carroll, and
C.S. Lewis abound. The Starless Sea poses big questions about stories — the ones we read, the
ones we live, and the ones we tell ourselves. And at the heart of her work lies the themes that
