Book 2 of 2023: THE STARLESS SEA by Erin Morgenstern

A book by a #booklover, for all the booklovers. You'll love it if you enjoy following clues and hopping back and forth in the book for details that prove Significant later on. You'll also love it if you loved THE NIGHT CIRCUS. Morgenstern's writing is so lush and vivid! The last 1/3 meandered a bit too much for my tastes but still really enjoyed the read.

p. 439. Isn't it fun living in a #patriarchy?

Oh, and can we appreciate how amazing Zachary's death got introduced in the last chapter?

#ErinMorgenstern #TheStarlessSea

"Zachary Ezra Rawlins glances down at his chest where Dorian's hand is wrapped around the hilt of the sword and just as he begins to understand what is happening everything goes black." (Morgenstern, 2019, p. 436).

How much I love these kind of stries. Can he now please stay dead.

"The moon says nothing. She only watches. Waiting to see what happens next." (Morgenstern, 2019, p. 408).

And that is Charles Dickens Christmas Carol.

"He lifts the lid. Inside is a beating human heart." (Morgenstern, 2019, p. 386).

They have all watched to much #PiratesOfTheCaribbean. This is the second book after #Darkdawn.

No sailing together into the sunrise, please.

"He bows at her and she laughs and here and now they separate to further their respective stories." (Morgenstern, 2019, p. 368) I would be disappointed when Eleanor and Simon get a HEA and the books are exchanged
back to their rightful owners.

"On his chest, over his breastbone, is a tattoo of a sword. A scimitar-style sword with a curved blade. Its hilt is impossibly gold, metallic ink shimmering beneath his skin" (Morgenstern, 2019, p. 339) Didn't I say this the whole time?

If the innkeeper from fortunes and fables is the keeper of the port, is Maribel in that case the moon?
#TheStarlessSea #ErinMorgenstern

"She asked if Death might spare a single soul. Death would have granted the moon any wish within her power for Death is nothing if not generous. This was a simple gift, easily given." (Morgenstern, 2019, p. 306).

"But you were a guardian." (Morgenstern, 2019, p. 292) We need to talk about my theory again.

p. 264. I take that as prove.

"It means if you encountered someone whom I have no record of it is because they have not been here yet" (Morgenstern, 2019, p. 253). Maybe they are Mirabels parents after all.

The Ballad of Simon and Eleanor book borrowing. pages 236-240. Are they Mirabels parents? Probably not bc he seems to be from a past century.

"Books are always better when read rather than explained." (Morgenstern, 2019, p. 224). Can I claim this as my motto? I love talking about books sharing my thoughts but if someone asks me to explain a book to them, we get a problem. I'm not trying to sell it to you.

Continues the last quote. "No chaperones. He wonders if his mother was like that. Wonders what makes a woman a witch." (Morgenstern, 2019, p. 223).
