Exploring Fractal Noise: A Review of Paolini’s Bold Sci-Fi Novel
Fractal Noise by Christopher Paolini is a weird science fiction novel, really pushing hard into the weirdness. This is his second published novel in the Fractalverse, his adult science fiction universe, following his epic standalone space-opera, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, which was reviewed upon release four years ago on this blog.
This review won’t be as in-depth because it’s been many months since I’ve read Fractal Noise. However, the book really left an impression on me, and I’ve been meaning to share my thoughts about it in at least a cursory blog post.
