Hopefully, you’ll sink into it and sail the starless sea. And while you’re reading it, you need to feel comfortable with ambiguity and just let it lead you wherever it goes. There are metaphors and allegories fables and diary entries. There are random pages that never seem to connect to anything. There’s an Owl King, magic bees, and talking cats. It simultaneously makes no sense but might be the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything. RATING: This book is unlike anything I’ve read. The only way to save it is for Zachary to race through the depths of the earth to find the end of the story. But there are those who want to seal all of the portals and stop Zachary from returning his book to the library. There he meets a mysterious woman who takes him through a portal underneath the earth to a magical place filled with books. When reclusive Zachary finds a mysterious book with no author, he traces its origin to a masquerade party in New York. THE PLOT: ‘The Starless Sea’ by Erin Morgenstern is a literary fantasy novel about a magical underground library.
