Summary: Tristran Thorn is in love with town beauty Victoria Forester and will do anything to gain her love in return...including promising to retrieve a star that has fallen beyond the wall and into the land of Faeire. When Victoria agrees to Tristran's quest, he packs his bag and with his father's help heads beyond the wall. Tristran soon learns that Faeire is a complicated world with strange rules, stranger creatures and danger hidden around every corner.My Thoughts: I thought this book was quite lovely.
The action was really well paced in "Stardust" and cleverly played out. Tristran's quest for the star (which really turns into his quest for self discovery) introduces him to a hairy little man that helps him outfit himself for the adventures to come - escaping a killer forest, managing a murderous family feud and escaping the clutches of countless villains.
And there was an airship, y'all. AN AIRSHIP.
The language was excellent - each word chosen to evoke a feeling or memory for the reader that keeps them (or at least me) eagerly turning the pages.
My only complaint was that the story ended much too soon.
Rating: I'll read this one to Owen when he's older.
