  …really divided on the Hyperion Cantos in terms of which books or book pair stands out for them. I am thoroughly in the 'all four of them combine to form an impressive epic'-camp. I found it pleasing how Rise of Endymion closes the last strands of the story begun in Hyperion. Good call on Heinlein's Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Ringworld didn't do much for me either, but I do indulge in the Man-Kzin Wars spin-offs as a…

  The Hyperion Cantos is such an incredible work of fiction. Currently re-reading and am midway through the fourth book The Rise Of Endymion; this series captivates my imagination and would often find myself idly reflecting on it and the characters within more than a decade after reading. Like all works, it has its shortcomings, but I can…

  It is quite in character for Martin Silenus. Especially at that point of the story. If you had problems with that already, you shouldn't read Endymion and Rise of Endymion.

  My "intense time of life" story re: Hyperion. I was finishing "The Rise of Endymion" and was stricken with a kidney stone. It was absolutely eerie, and has cemented my memory of that book in a strange way.
