Carmen asked this question about The Starless Sea:
Hey everyone! Wondering if anyone can weigh in on how scary/spooky/creepy this book is? I LOVED the Night Circus maybe more than any book ever and could handle the bit of eery darkness in that but I have a strong aversion to horror... thoughts?
Sarah I liked it so much better than the Night Circus (even though I loved that one too)- much more mystery, tale-winding, and intrigue. Pure fantasy bliss!…moreI liked it so much better than the Night Circus (even though I loved that one too)- much more mystery, tale-winding, and intrigue. Pure fantasy bliss! Not scary/no horror(less)
