This one clocks in at close to 900 pages, but the rollicking pace, rapidly developing stakes, and Paolini’s confident worldbuilding make them fly by.
#To sleep in a sea of stars review series
Paolini, best known for the YA epic fantasy series The Inheritance Cycle, makes his adult debut in another genre that welcomes long page counts. When an alien species attacks the ship, presumably because of Kira’s discovery, Kira will have to learn to harness the suit’s strange powers to defend herself and the rest of the human race. A military ship comes to collect what's left of the team and investigate the reports of an alien discovery. But soon a kind of strange, alien suit takes over her body, covering her with black material that lashes out violently against Alan and the other scientists, forming spikes that jump out from her skin. She passes out as she's being rescued by her team, and when she comes to, she seems to be fine, and the team reports her findings to the government. When her curiosity gets the better of her and she touches a pedestal covered in dust, a bizarre black material flows out and covers her entire body. She decides to check it out, just to be thorough, and finds herself in the middle of an ancient structure. As Kira performs a few routine last-minute checks before their team leaves the system, something strange catches her eye. Instead of continuing to spend months apart, working on different planets and waiting until they can be together, they'll be able to ask their employers to make them part of a colony as a couple. A xenobiologist, she’s finishing up a stint doing research on the large moon Adrasteia with a small team of other scientists, and her boyfriend, Alan, has just proposed to her. Things are really turning around for Kira Navárez. A curious scientist stumbles on mysterious ruins in the opening chapters of this science fiction epic.
