To Sleep in a Sea of Stars does remind me of known Science fiction films and series. It’s all together into one book, research, adventure, expeditions battles, you name it, all there. The author tries hard to hit as many spots as possible. This ultimately turns the story into a complex adventure, all this needs time to develop and thrive. Due to the length, the characters get a lot of attention and become familiar. For me, Kira Navarez is still my favourite, I’ve never encountered such a strong-willed personality before. One negative point I encountered, was the high amount of side plots and appearances, this confused me. More than once I felt like stopping altogether, but then a wave of suspense caught me again and I kept going. Reading it always felt like a constant up and down not knowing where the next high wave of suspense would appear. Despite the many pages, you can’t put it down and I’m glad I finished it. I hope that they pull through with the film adaptation soon. Mostly to see how the plot was implemented.
