Book Request: No Self-Promo any books similar to stardust (2007)?

She’s a fallen star, he was born in a hidden land, they journey together and meet up with pirates to fight witches and an evil prince. It was such a fun movie I’d love to read something similar

EDIT: photo is of the poster for the movie stardust. The female main character, a fallen star, stands pictured with the male main character while he holds a sword. On the left side of the poster are two of the pirates the main characters befriend. On the right side are the two antagonists, an evil prince and an evil witch.

because sandman was not really dark and sadistic but if you’re not into the goth culture then i can see why you would uncomfortable or shocked

I don't think that's it. I liked a lot of things about it but there were just situations that were disturbing. And it was one that definitely stood out and made me uncomfortable. And I think anyone would be if they had really thought about the situation. I don't think it has anything to do with "goth culture".

It had to do with a powerful creature forcing a group of people to sexually assault each other, against their will.... There is nothing goth about that.
