Christopher Paolini was born in Southern California and has lived most of his life in Paradise Valley, Montana. He published his first novel, Eragon, in 2003 at the age of nineteen, and quickly became a publishing phenomenon. His Inheritance Cycle--Eragon and its three sequels--have sold nearly 40 million copies worldwide. To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is his first adult novel.
"A powerful piece of SF, with intelligent writing and big
ideas."--Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time "Fans of
all kinds, one can be sure, will come to question, and stay to
explore."--The Wall Street Journal "The skills honed in his YA
fantasy series, Inheritance (Eragon, 2003), are on full display
here in his vibrant world building, especially in the mythology of
the alien tech. Paolini populates this universe with a large cast
of interesting and relatable characters, and mostly avoids
reductive good guy/bad guy dynamics, lending the story a sincere
emotional depth. Highly recommended for fans of James A. Corey's
The Expanse series and for fantasy fans willing to try space
opera."--Booklist, starred review "Dazzles with otherworldly
delights--and unearthly nightmares."--Newsweek
"This is Paolini's best book so far, skillfully done, brilliantly
imagined and cleverly executed. It's accessible and engaging and
left us wanting more."--Starburst Magazine
"Has that charm that is unique to [Paolini's] writing. The ending
was fantastic, big and exciting and with the same outside-the-box
thinking I now expect from one of Paolini's endings."--Novel Knight
"The character cast in To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is perfection.
Kira is my queen of thorns, and I would trust her with my life and
with the fate of humanity."--Ink and Plasma "Sure to be one of the
biggest literary moments of the year."--The Portalist "Just as he
did with his fantasy series, Paolini again captured my complete
attention with the sheer breadth of his imagination."--By Hook or
By Book Praise for Christopher Paolini: "An authentic work of great
talent."--New York Times Book Review "Paolini is a spellbinding
fantasy writer."--The Boston Globe
"A breathtaking and unheard of success."--USA Today "Christopher
Paolini is a true rarity."--The Washington Post "Christopher
Paolini make[s] literary magic."--People "The new 'It' book of
children's lit."--U.S. News & World Report
