ladyloki019 's review for:
To Sleep in a Sea of Stars
by Christopher Paolini
*No Spoilers*
I REALLY wanted to enjoy this story more than I did. Like many others, I was an Inheritance Cycle fan, and was extremely excited to read a new story from the author.
This book had potential, but it was just too shallow of character development for such a vast world. I mean, it's freaking Sci Fi! The world building is expected and is delivered. Unfortunately, the characters within just don't hold up. I love a good romance, and I didn't feel a thing for the emotions shared between characters. I didn't care for the platonic relationships built. If someone died, (or would have died) you didn't/wouldn't have caught me crying or cursing at the author.
I think part of this is because feelings and actions were told rather than shown.
Everything was convenient, shallow, and I found myself zoning out during action scenes.
I'm sad to say this book was more than a bit of a let down for me.
