The Starless Sea

I read The Starless Sea, the second, much-anticipated novel from Erin Morgenstern, earlier this year. Much like its predecessor The Night Circus, I couldn’t put it down. It is a book all about stories and the power of storytelling, blurring the lines between what is real and what is imagined. There are short stories interspersed throughout the larger narrative, and as the book progresses, they begin to merge with one another. This is the kind of book that you want to immediately start over once you know how it all ends. —Millie Smith, academic planning programs coordinator, Provost’s Office
