Goodreads Choice Award for Best Science Fiction Novel

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is a masterful epic science fiction novel from the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of the Inheritance Cycle, Christopher Paolini.

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 . . .

Critic Reviews

A powerful piece of SF, with intelligent writing and big ideas (Adrian Tchaikovsky)
Rollicking pace, rapidly developing stakes . . . A fun, fast-paced epic that science fiction fans will gobble up (Kirkus Reviews)
The skills honed in his YA fantasy series, Inheritance, 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 . . . 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)
Fans of all kinds, one can be sure, will come to question, and stay to explore (Washington Post)
Great space opera with rockets on (Daily Mail)
An authentic work of great talent (New York Times Book Review on Christopher Paolini)
A true rarity (The Washington Post on Christopher Paolini)
A breathtaking and unheard of success (USA Today on Christopher Paolini)

The plot is good, if only it were a bit more succinct and not stretch on in many parts of the story making it such a lengthy book.

Good plot, very lengthy though

Flat story. Narration is mediocre.

Its like a series where you can almost predict what will happen a few chapters down the line. i didn't like this book. It was a typical teenage female protagonist with a lot of control over feelings and events and convincing people to listen to her. Not believable.
The narrator is good . waste of time and resources though.

Its like a teenage book
