The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

I actually finished this rebind last week, but didn't want to post two rebinds in a row and then having nothing for a long time LOL

The cover design is sort of a homage to the original cover of the book with the golden bee on a college notebook. The bee is foiled on vellum paper. Gold htv is very soft and a b i t ch to work with thanks I hate it.

I also struggled with ironing the dripping honey and sea of honey onto the case because I glued the cloth to the book case first before I finalized the design TT__TT But all in all I'm very happy with how it turned out

Endpapers are printed marmor papers that I foiled, the illustrations are done by me on Procreate. I have the front and back different illustrations for story reasons.

you think, as you walk away from le cirque des rêves and into the creeping dawn, that you felt more awake within the confines of the circus. you are no longer quite certain which side of the fence is the dream.

i firmly believe that if you love the amazing devil you should read the starless sea and if you love the starless sea you should listen to the amazing devil.

The Starless Sea- Erin Morgenstern

I read this in January while waiting for the semester to start and doing not much else, would recommend

They're both a 10 but also each others' competition and instead of trying to win, they built each other love letters for years, encased in tents.

omg i need to sleep but the starless sea.... what..... this is like. one of the best fantasy books i have read. every single story that you th ought was just a standalone is interwoven in the world and the worldbuilding is just beautiful. it is a book about stories and bees and honey and exploring and doors and spaces outside of time and feeling untethered and dying and being saved and protection and immortality and owls and so much jqnuary snow and libraries and ruins and cocktails and fate and the sea and love and i really should not finish it tonight because i have an alarm set but oh my god. this book

Each of them always gravitating toward the other. Yet still they do not touch.
