VM Reviews: The Starless Sea

What to expect: this is a book written by a reader for readers. It is a book for adventurers and people that like short stories and libraries.

 

Plot: When Zachary (our main character) was little he found a painted door, but never opened it. Now, he finds a mysterious book in the university library that has no barcode and decides to see where the book leads him (through like where it was published and who donated it). The book is filled with short stories about a Harbour and Starless Sea. 

We are introduced to multiple characters with different storylines in different points in time, with different beginnings and endings. Some characters are important and come back later, some appear once and never again. 

 

Reader Note: the timeline is super wonky. The book has a main plot line about a main character and his journey to the Harbour and the Starless Sea. There are experts and notes and short stories put into that main story, as if the author took a book and used short stories as bookmarks. 

 

Tags and Warnings:
