    Hyperion is my all time favourite Sci-Fi and up there with the best stories I have ever read. (First 2 books only, the third book is so bad I couldn't even make it halfway). An absolute masterpiece of character building, world building, and pacing. The only other book of is his I've read is Ilium and I didn't think much of it. Sad day for Sci-Fi fans.

      I also really enjoyed Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion. They are some of my favorites as well.

    I'm about to finish the Expanse series and Hyperion was suggested by a couple of different apps as something to read next. I'll take this as a sign to read it.
