breeperscreepers 's review for:

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini
3.75
adventurous mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

Eloquent, grandiose deep-space descriptions and an exciting plot warred with some corny dialogue and a lack of emotional connection to any of the characters. I liked this book but I can confidently say I won't reread this because of the length and somewhat cheesy finale. 
Only one thing actually kinda irked me, and that was the Seekers immediate disappearance after being introduced. Such a cool enemy, what do you mean it only gets a brief mention towards the end and we never get to see it in action? Why bother including it in the first place?
