This week's pick is The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
Here is the Goodreads synopsis
The Starless Sea sounds just as whimsical, and romantic as The Night Circus. It also sounds just as unique. I cannot wait to dive into this world and see what Erin has created.
This week's pick is The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Night Circus, a timeless love story set in a secret underground world--a place of pirates, painters, lovers, liars, and ships that sail upon a starless sea.The Night Circus was a beautifully written, lush, and unique read. I loved every minute of it. I was therefore thrilled to hear that Erin Morgenstern had another book coming out this year.
Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues--a bee, a key, and a sword--that lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club, and through a doorway to an ancient library, hidden far below the surface of the earth. What Zachary finds in this curious place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardians--it is a place of lost cities and seas, lovers who pass notes under doors and across time, and of stories whispered by the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrificed much to protect this realm, relinquishing their sight and their tongues to preserve this archive, and also those who are intent on its destruction. Together with Mirabel, a fierce, pink-haired protector of the place, and Dorian, a handsome, barefoot man with shifting alliances, Zachary travels the twisting tunnels, darkened stairwells, crowded ballrooms, and sweetly-soaked shores of this magical world, discovering his purpose--in both the mysterious book and in his own life.
The Starless Sea sounds just as whimsical, and romantic as The Night Circus. It also sounds just as unique. I cannot wait to dive into this world and see what Erin has created.
Expected release date - November 5, 2019
