The Starless Sea – DNF
I liked The Night Circus well enough, so I gave this a fair shot—almost half the book—before giving up. There is a central storyline that’s pretty decent, but it’s constantly derailed by long, dull interludes and side stories that add very little. Instead of enriching the narrative, they kill its momentum. I found myself slogging through the slow parts, only to be occasionally rewarded by brief returns to the main thread. In the end, it just wasn’t worth the effort.
