5/21/2023 0 Comments The starless sea erin morgensternI can see why this book was so heavily recommended, but it wasn’t for me. It was in those chapters I was the most connected to the novel. Not just because of the narration, I love the epistolary format. Her chapters were the most interesting as Katrina Hawkins was my favorite character. I did enjoy the narration and was pleasantly surprised to hear the voice of Bahni Turpin. And worse I could see the strings, the muscle of it, and that made it kind of a drag. I could see, even feel the lines in it, constantly reminding me that I was listening to a story. And even though the pieces still fit together, there are chasms where it was cut. It was like Morgenstern had an idea for a story and then rather than write it, she turned it inside out and cut it into pieces. Interesting for sure, but also, afterward, the magic is gone. This book felt like a magician revealing his tricks.
