"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
