I first read the audio of this book over the summer but wasn’t able to finish it. I found the audio difficult to follow. I decided to read the ebook and it was much more enjoyable. The book is about a man named Zachary Ezra who loves books. He comes across a certain book in which the starless sea is mentioned, and he wants to reach it. Throughout the book, we get glimpses of the stories he’s reading. I don’t think we are reading every chapter of that book, but there are certain chapters that stand out (maybe to Zachary?), and that’s what we get to experience with him. The story is a smooth-sailing type of book. There’s no real climax. We are simply taken on a journey with Zachary. There is a bit of life away from the book in which we learn of the few people Zachary is around, but other than that, it’s basically a story to have you thinking about each situation in the book.
Who should read this book: If you’re a fan of Neil Gaiman or like his writing style in The Ocean at the End of the Lane, this story is written very similarly.

Wonderful review!
