Review: Fractal Noise by Christopher Paolini (Fractalverse #0.5)

April 30, 2023 by Paige 1 Comment

The cover for Fractal Noise by Christopher Paolini

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is possibly my favourite book of all time, and I’ve been (im)patiently waiting for the next Fractalverse book ever since. I’m very happy to say that Fractal Noise lived up to my expectations and I’m so excited that it’s setting up for the next book in the series!
