I find myself thinking about the Fractalverse as magical partially because of the association.

Approachable characters wrapped in a world.

His last series, the Inheritance Cycle, had similar elements to it as To Sleep in A Sea of Stars. I find going along for the ride did wonders for me and this book. The science is a little heavy, along with the physical book weight- but the prose is gentle and keeps you moving for more. His world building creates a nest of characterization and world building that is essentially a chefвЂ™s kiss. Truthfully, I think the author could find himself among names like Tolkein if he stands up to the test of time. The first novel of PaoliniвЂ™s new Fractalverse is incredible. A race ensues across space and time as Kira tries to save herself and life as humans know it. There, Kira finds the most dangerous thing she could encounter in possibly the entire universe. She and a team member hop down to check it out, where they discover an odd geological structure they hadnвЂ™t encountered in their studies of the planet. Kira, a xenobiologist, comes across an odd reading the day before she leaves the planet she has been studying. It takes a bit to cocoon yourself back into this sci fi world- but if itвЂ™s your cup of tea it is very worth it to take the time. I enjoyed this book and had dreams in the Fractalverse for days after finishing it, however, picking it up and putting it down was exhausting. One of the main quotes from the story is вЂњEat the path or the path will eat youвЂќ. The second thing I need to say about this book is that in its original hardcopy form, it is nearly 900 pages long. It helped build the extremely complicated book that it holds. So the image of the Milky Way reflecting that in this book was incredibly enticing for me on a personal level.

As I love when nature and art collide, IвЂ™m infatuated with the image of the Fibonacci spiral. If you purchase the hard cover edition there is a gorgeous image inside the cover of the Milky Way. The first thing I need to say about this book is that the artwork makes my heart so happy.
