To Sleep in a Sea of Stars Review
To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini is a 878 page Science Fiction novel, the 1st book in the Fractalverse. I read along with my physical copy to the audiobook which I found on Scribd.
Kira Navárez dreamed of life on new worlds. Now she's awakened a nightmare. During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move. As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation. First contact isn't at all what she imagined, and events push her to the very limits of what it means to be human. While Kira faces her own horrors, Earth and its colonies stand upon the brink of annihilation. Now, Kira might be humanity's greatest and final hope...
I rate this book 4.5/5 Stars.
This was an incredible read. I haven’t read a lot of space sci-fi books and this was an interesting story for sure. Each plot point felt naturally developed upon another. And the amount of world-building we received was never too much. For not a moment I’ve thought; Alright get on with the story. The Wranaui have such an interesting way of speaking, both with their scent and how it’s written on the page. The characters themselves were really diverse in both their mannerisms, goals and motivations. But by far is the snarky, sarcastic ship mind Gregorovich. What happened to him during the story touched me deeply, as I found myself in him. Kira’s offer to him near the end of the story made me cry, but his response was so logical as well. Speaking of the end. As ever I won’t spoil anything, but I feel like I’ve been lead astray. Never had it been mentioned what the Maw did, and I feel like it’s a cop out, so that this can actually become the series that it is. I might’ve love it more if this had been a stand alone, with Mar Íneth being the end. The voice actress for this novel was impeccable. The amount of variety in her pitch and accents was incredible. In the physical copy of the book, before each exeunt chapter there is a diagram/picture which really added to the store while I was reading.
Even though my rating is high, I’ve yet to decide if I’d read the 2nd novel in this series when it’s released. If so, I’ll be sure to reblog this post, with my opinion.
