What just happened?
The premise was so good but I was so confused so often, and after the last page I'm even more confused?
The first half was so so so slow because of all the little stories throughout the main story, but then a good 100 (maybe 200) pages could have been spared with the back and forth in the different...realities, worlds, stories, whatever....
I'm not sure what the plot was or what was the point for the story? Another review said this book was a love letter to storytelling, but it missed on having a plot. That's the biggest issue of this book. No damn plot.
Erin Morgenstern's writing is beautiful and whimsical, the characters are a bit bland and the romance wasn't entirely convincing because Dorian and Zachary spend the entire book looking for each other instead of falling in love, but um, I'm still not sure what happened.
