Starddust is a light fiction compared to Neil Gaiman’s major work, such as American Gods and Good Omens. It is a fairy tale written for young adults and was adapted into a movie in 2007.

The main character, Tristan Thorn tried all out to grasp Victoria Forester’s heart. Like any other boy, he promised Victoria anything that she can think of. The main difference is that when Victoria told him to fetch a fallen star, instead of immediately responding with honeyed words like, “Oh! But you are the most beautiful star in my eyes”, Tristan kept his promise and ventured into the forest for the star. The story centers on Tristan’s adventure in the magical forest.

My favorite part of the book is its ending. It is an unexpected mixture of happiness and loneliness. I would recommend this book to those who don’t read English novels very often. It is short, simple, easy to get hold of, and enjoyable to read.
