Abby Rose answers “I liked the movie, should I read the book?...”

Poly asked this question about Stardust:

I liked the movie, should I read the book? I heard it's darker and less romantic. Is this true?

The book is just as romantic in my opinion but the romance doesn't start until later on in the book's storyline because Tristran doesn't meet Yvaine right away in the novel like he does in the movie with the candle. We do get more details on his father's relationship with Una, though, so there's that. As far darker, yeah it's a little dark, but the movie wasn't feather-light either. (less)
