Reviews
"A powerful piece of SF, with intelligent writing and big ideas."--Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time "Fans of all kinds, one can be sure, will come to question, and stay to explore."-- The Wall Street Journal "The skills honed in his YA fantasy series, Inheritance ( Eragon , 2003), are on full display here in his vibrant world building, especially in the mythology of the alien tech. Paolini populates this universe with a large cast of interesting and relatable characters, and mostly avoids reductive good guy/bad guy dynamics, lending the story a sincere emotional depth. Highly recommended for fans of James A. Corey's The Expanse series and for fantasy fans willing to try space opera."-- Booklist , starred review "Dazzles with otherworldly delights--and unearthly nightmares."-- Newsweek "This is Paolini's best book so far, skillfully done, brilliantly imagined and cleverly executed. It's accessible and engaging and left us wanting more."-- Starburst Magazine "Has that charm that is unique to [Paolini's] writing. The ending was fantastic, big and exciting and with the same outside-the-box thinking I now expect from one of Paolini's endings."--Novel Knight " The character cast in To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is perfection. Kira is my queen of thorns, and I would trust her with my life and with the fate of humanity. "-- Ink and Plasma "Sure to be one of the biggest literary moments of the year."--The Portalist "Just as he did with his fantasy series, Paolini again captured my complete attention with the sheer breadth of his imagination."--By Hook or By Book Praise for Christopher Paolini: "An authentic work of great talent."-- New York Times Book Review "Paolini is a spellbinding fantasy writer."-- The Boston Globe "A breathtaking and unheard of success."-- USA Today "Christopher Paolini is a true rarity."-- The Washington Post "Christopher Paolini make[s] literary magic."-- People "The new 'It' book of children's lit."-- U.S. News & World Report A #1 New York Times Bestseller A #1 Publishers Weekly Bestseller A #1 USA Today Bestseller A Wall Street Journal Bestseller
