Finished both Hyperion novels. Wow. Still a bit in shock. A story of epic proportions, a fantastic multiple narrative, great characters, awe-inspiring backstories and a darkly entertaining reality, the Hyperion Cantos is an amazing read. I enjoyed that there were two distinct realities in the books – the first book being the philosophical past and the latter one the action-ridden present and future, it would’ve become tedious if not. A bit disappointed because of the unchanging narrator style of the stories and their maudlin endings in the first book, but fantastic nonetheless. As expected, from Zen Gnostic I’ve converted to the Church of the Final Atonement. Started Ilium and it seems just as good – perhaps better.
