About this listen
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 best-selling 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....

Excellent Audio Story. Well Read.
I utterly disagree that this is too long.
It is a good story line with great character development and variety.
Really like the main character and the relationship she develops with her resulting crew as the saga develops.
Thoroughly recommend. 5 stars.
Props to the Author!

I can't sing enough prazes for this space opera!
I struggled to stop listening to this book, I was pulled in to this tale with the amazing lore, and completing narrative. Often I find myself looking for more once a novel has finished, find myself craving for a sequel, however with this book I was contented (that might not be a real word but it describes my feelings perfectly).

An enjoyable escape
I really enjoyed this book it is well written and thought out, I actually couldn’t stop listening at one point as it was like every time I was about to take a break another twist would happen and I’d have to continue. Well worth it

Surprisingly good
Books set in space are not my usual choice of reading matter, but I really enjoyed The Inheritance Cycle, so thought I would give this a go. I was not disappointed.
The narrator was great, and really brought the characters to life. I would definitely recommend it.

Space Jam
Well wrote (and better performed) this is a quaint sci fi romp that doesn't really do much with the runtime it has.

A fun space opera that can't decide on a stort
It reads first like a discovery or exploration story before it becomes a YA novel and then turns into a Firefly and later some form of superhero space opera.
It isn't bad, he has gotten significantly better since Eragon, but it isn't tonally consistent and whenever a man is supposed to be atractive, the main character smells musk and breath and sees muscle playing, it gets a bit old.
However.
I would absolutely die for Gregorovic.

Quite good, but...
Not a bad book, but a pedestrian and somewhat formulaic story with few flashes of genuine novelty. Characters crudely drawn and mostly irritating. Main character implausibly guilt-ridden. A lot of loose ends. The whole takes itself terribly seriously, yet many underlying themes are not explored with much imaginative rigour (which might have justified some of the self-indulgence of the material). Not in the same league as great masters like Ballard or Heinlein. An entertaining enough listen, though tedious and unnecessarily repetitive in many places. A thorough pruning by a strong editor is needed - a book half this length would have conveyed much more in much less time. Narration breathlessly earnest and so matched the over-long text. Won’t be reading/listening again.

Absolutely Amazing
This was an amazing read, I can't recommend it enough.
I can't find the words to explain how good this book is, it brings you in gentle and then BAM non stop action! Excellent performance with amazing accents! This book has reignited my love for reading/listening.
If you're not keen on heavy descriptive books then this one may be a chew but it's worth it. So worth it.
So... in short. I loved it.
