The Starless Sea

Im pretty sure I understand the plot of this book less now Ive finished it than i did before it started... the writing style is beautifully descriptive but too much so for me. It was very hard for me to feel invested in the characters because of that. Too much description not enough character development and growth. So much potential and i can see why some people absolutely love this book but i was left a little drained after finally getting through this one

Really unsure if i want to read the night circus after this??
