To sleep in a sea of stars review
First off, the plot was written so well in that I had no idea what was going to happen next. The best and worst part of this book is the pacing.

The highlight of this book was definitely the side characters, I loved learning more about them and having a great spaceship crew with banter and team chemistry. Kira was a great protagonist that had an interesting character development. Technological advances are heavily involved in this book like travelling on ships by the speed of light and science-y goodness I can’t even begin to fully comprehend, that any science nerd will relish. I was entranced and needed to find out more about how Earth had changed and evolved as I kept reading. If you’re a fan of plot-driven books with lots of action, this is definitely it. There may not be dragons, but there are space squids, and that’s enough for me. I knew I would enjoy To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, but I didn’t know I would fall in love with it. I found myself laughing at the puns and staying for the connections between characters. Paolini’s ability to create believable characters, including our walking disaster of a lead, Kira, has become something else in his time since Eragon. I also could not get over the dialogue between characters. Despite this story starting in the year 2257, the humanity in this story is optimistic and it’s recognizable.every aspect of humanity is visible, raw, and familiar. One of the things that truly centers Paolini’s work is how completely human the, well, humans are. There are ship pets and puns and a fantastically off-center ship mind named Gregorovitch, who speaks in riddles that only he truly seems to understand. Once I reached part two and met the colorful crew of The Wallfish, I was sold. Some aspects of the universe are eccentric, and I am here for it. What’s even more delightful is how quirky his new world is. I believe his universe, and I believe his characters. The world Paolini has built is tangibly real.

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is fleshed out in ways I didn’t think possible. This 800+ page epic took Paolini over nine years to write, and it shows.
