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 <i>The Expanse</i> series and for fantasy fans willing to try space opera."--<i>Booklist</i>, starred review <p/>"Dazzles with otherworldly delights--and unearthly nightmares."--<i>Newsweek<br></i><br>"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."--<i>Starburst Magazine<br></i><br>"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 <p/><i>"</i>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.<i>"--</i>Ink and Plasma <p/>"Sure to be one of the biggest literary moments of the year."--The Portalist <p/>"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 <p/>Praise for Christopher Paolini: <p/>"An authentic work of great talent."--<i>New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"Paolini is a spellbinding fantasy writer."--<i>The Boston Globe<br></i><br>"A breathtaking and unheard of success."--<i>USA Today</i> <p/>"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity."--<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"Christopher Paolini make[s] literary magic."--<i>People</i> <p/>"The new 'It' book of children's lit."--<i>U.S. News & World Report<br></i><br>A #1 <i>New York Times</i> Bestseller<br>A #1 <i>Publishers Weekly</i> Bestseller<br>A #1 <i>USA Today</i> Bestseller<br>A <i>Wall Street Journal</i> Bestseller</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Christopher Paolini</b><i> </i>was born in Southern California and has lived most of his life in Paradise Valley, Montana.
