Christopher Paoloni - Fractal Noise
Paoloni and I are from different places. He is a “qualified marksman in the Australian army” - I have a conscience certified by the Dutch state. He will never be caught “writing anything that's ultimate nihilistic or defeatist.” You will catch me enjoying stories like that.
The dark tale it apparently was as a first draft, is still in there, but it has been edited, cheared up. Eternal love and hope is sprinkled over it, because literary diabetes is not to be feared.
He does write engaging prose however. The tension he builds up when isolation is pressing on the crew makes for a captivating read that had me thinking about Scott and Amundsen more than once. Nicely done.
Still in the end I think this book is first and foremost a missed opportunity.

I’m disappointed in Christopher Paolini. Both books in the Fractalverse series turn into a long slog of misery and character torture. I don’t want to slog through upwards of 1/3rd of the book just being depressed, harmed, and mangled characters.
To Sleep in a Sea of Stars and Fractal Noise have a lot of interesting ideas. But they don’t carry the story. I can’t recommend his work anymore. In fact I actively advise you to avoid it. I don’t know if he’s trying to be dark and gritty, or if he’s just in a deep dark place, but it’s ugly, near saw level torture porn.

Rezension: #INFINITUM – Die Ewigkeit der Sterne
Im Herbst geht es weiter!
¿Sabíais que Christopher Paolini (Eragon) esta armando un nuevo universo literario llamado #Fractalverse?
Iniciado con 'Dormir en un mar de estrellas' (publicado por Umbriel), el 16 de mayo (en inglés) llega 'Fractal Noise', precuela que nos lleva 23 años antes de lo contado en la novela.
Además, hay una página web del #Fractalverse que a parte de info, tiene una aventura interactiva gratuita por otra historia del universo llamada 'Unity'👀🚀
