i love how interconnected everything was in “the starless sea”. you have time and fate’s love story as a major backbone of the plot and entire world in which it takes place. simon and eleanor would have never met had people not been attempting to give fate an immortal vessel. and zachary would have never found sweet sorrows (or dorian or mirabel or the starless sea) had eleanor never met simon in the place between time where fate was conceived. it’s magnificent storytelling. nothing felt accidental of half thought out. it was meticulously planned and erin morgenstern deserves all of the credit for writing such a masterpiece.

The Ballad of Simon & Eleanor

The Starless Sea scrapbook 7/8

[ID: A photo of a mixed media collage. All the elements are stuck with transparent tape. A small sticker of a sun is stuck in the top left corner, next to it there's a drawing of a door knocker with the moon as the ball and its faces spanning to both sides. On the top right corner there's a paper cutout that reads "local honey". Below the moons there's a big black and white cutout of a boat with "to seek and to find" written on the side. Underneath it there is a piece of map, small pencil drawings of an old broom and a bunny mask and an origami paper star made of an old book page. Lower, there's a piece of charred paper with a sticker of a bee on it and a jar with a hand inside made of cutouts. On the bottom right corner there's a drawing of a cat sleeping on a pile of books, the spine of the top one reads "the Ballad of Simon & Eleanor", the one below has a feather on the spine and the bottom one a sword.]
