She has literally no dimension other than to hate how she looks now that she’s bald and covered in an alien suit. Frustratingly, though she gets in an escape shuttle, Kira wants to save the other survivors who tortured her, in a frustratingly goody-goody move. Kira is picked up by a military ship, and tortured, before they are attacked by an alien race referred to as Jellies–perhaps the most non-threatening name for aliens ever–which destroys their ship. When she wakes, she is covered in an alien suit, and accidentally murders every single one of her teammates with it, including her fiancee, Alan. The readers remember that the last thing she saw was a black dust swarming her, and choking her. Kira is knocked unconscious, forgetting everything that happened to her. They’d finally made contact with another sentient species, but the species was hostile and able to fly circles around any human ship, even the unmanned ones.”
TO.SLEEP IN A SEA OF STARS CRACK
Right before she’s about to leave, she researches a strange grouping of rocks, and climbs into a mysterious looking crack of the same unknown material, only to fall right into a dome-like room clearly created by aliens. Kira, a xenobiologist is part of the League and of a team that thoroughly researches planets to see if they are habitable for future colonization for humans.
TO.SLEEP IN A SEA OF STARS MOVIE
In fact, the beginning of the novel seemed almost exactly like the movie Prometheus, but more poorly executed.
I found that the novel really didn’t add anything new to the science fiction genre. Though the Inheritance Cycle had the benefit of dragons, which is obviously more to my taste, I found that the allure of the science fiction elements of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars was not enough to get me to finish reading the novel.
It took me 8 days of forced, painful reading to get even that far. I was determined to finish this novel, but I found at around 40% of the way though the galley, I simply could not go on. As with The Inheritance Cycle, I also never felt any tension while reading the few what-should-have-been climactic parts of the novels.
TO.SLEEP IN A SEA OF STARS HOW TO
Reading it was a struggle as there were tons of pacing issues, very shallow character development, lots of telling and not showing, strange metaphors, and it suffered from the classic case of a male author not knowing how to write a female.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, I could not get through this novel. Plus, I was intrigued by the synopsis of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, which sounded like an epic sci-fi story with a badass female protagonist named Kira. Having read all of The Inheritance Cycle series, I was curious if I would like Christopher Paolini’s writing better since he was an adult and several years have passed since he wrote these novels. Also by this author: Eragon (The Inheritance Cycle, #1) Her journey to discover the truth about the alien civilization will thrust her into the wonders and nightmares of first contact, epic space battles for the fate of humankind, and the farthest reaches of the galaxy. But when xenobiologist Kira Navárez finds an alien relic beneath the surface of the world, the outcome transforms her forever and will alter the course of human history. It was supposed to be a routine research mission on an uncolonized planet.
