Overall, I’m not sure I’d like to sail The Starless Sea – it seems quite an inhospitable place. That being said, I would definitely dive back into Morgenstern’s imagination for another journey.
If you’re here for action scenes, dialogue between our heroes and the villain, and explosions (lots of explosions), you’ve come to the right place.
Popovic breathes life into this infamous story, putting a modern, feminist twist on one of the world’s most sinister female villains.

Flat, undeveloped characters, telling instead of showing, and a lackluster plot all contribute to a novel that just isn’t working.
