Stardust

I watched the movie growing up and loved it, so I was excited to read the book. Neil Gaiman has a lovely voice, both literally and in his writing, and I highly recommend listening to his narration in the audiobook! I had not realized the movie was so different from the book, and this is one of the rare occasions I actually like their differences rather than feel like something precious has been missed. Starlight the novel is both charming as well as surprisingly horrific, just as an adult fairytale should be! Having now read Starlight and Coraline, I'm sensing the unsettling is a marker of his work. I am excited to explore more of it!
