![]() ![]() What makes all of this possible is The Book, a magical tome that contains every play ever written. In the Théâtre Illuminata, someone merely has to call for a scene change, and voilà! The stage is all set for another production. Eyes Like Stars instantly pulled me in with a whimsy that reminded me a bit of Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus. This turned out to be one little gem of a book, and I probably never would have discovered it if it hadn’t been for Goodreads. One day, I spotted Eyes Like Stars at the library and figured that I’d give it a try. ![]() Once I saw that, I had to add this book to my TBR list. ![]() The main character’s name also caught my attention because it had “Shakespeare” in it. When I read the synopsis, the idea of a theater in which the characters are real, living beings intrigued me. Review: Eyes Like Stars came up as a Goodreads recommendation. When one antic too many causes the Theater Manager to ask her to leave, Bertie must prove that she’s invaluable to the Théâtre or else face the unknown in the outside world. Bertie has no memory of her parents or how she came to the Théâtre. For Beatrice “Bertie” Shakespeare Smith, the Théâtre is the only place that she’s ever called home. Its actors are not merely playing parts they are the characters. ![]() To Sum It Up: The Théâtre Illuminata is unlike any other theater. ![]()
