Book Review: To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini

Hi Cara,

 

Today I am sharing my review of Christopher Paolini newest book, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. 

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 . . .”

(Synopsis from Goodreads.com) 

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is a story that leaves its mark on your soul.

After finishing To Sleep in a Sea of Stars the emotions that I felt lingered. As I tried to sleep that night the story continued to play in my mind.

Christopher Paolini has created this amazing and extensive world. The level of information never felt overwhelming either. The story is a masterpiece, I was never bored when reading To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. It builds and builds as we find out more about the Worlds, Aliens and the dangers out there in the stars. 

Kira is the leading lady in, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. Kira as a character pulled out of my such a range of different emotions from laughter to crying. I became invested in her journey and her life. Also proud of the women she became throughout the story and how she deals with it all. 

One of my favourite elements is the fact that there is a pet pig on a spaceship. Also how protective the ship’s captain is over the pig. One moment in particular made me laugh.  

Another aspect I enjoyed was the crew of the Wallfish. I loved how different they are but how well they have become a unit. 

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is a brilliantly written science fiction masterpiece that is a must-read. 

My Rating for To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is 5 out of 5.
