Heh. Just read the two Hierarchy books and now I’m on book three of The Hyperion Cantos.
Hyperion is so good. Fascinating story. The space bits really aren’t that important. Simmons does a good job of not getting caught up in the world building and instead tells a story in a truly bizarre world.
Fall of Hyperion struggled to keep my attention both times I read it.
About 25% of the way through Endymion and I’m having a hard time getting into it. Just finished a long section talking about the MC’s next strategic move… only to then transition to the antagonist having the exact same, mirrored conversation.
I want to finish the series… but it’s been a challenge.
