SciFi and Fantasy eBook Club discussion

I started this one yesterday. I read the first book in the series and not the second but I tend to agree that this is a stand alone point as it is. I don't feel lost - I don't understand where the form of Christianity complete with resurrection came from but then do need to?

I'm only at the 5% point so the story is just starting up but I think I'm going like this one the way I liked the earlier book in the series.

I'm about half done with the book now and I'm liking it! It seems a little more like a space adventure and probably a little less world building than the first two books, but that may change.

I am reading it as well, and think it might become a favorite1 Trying to savor it....

People keep telling me that the next one is even better - so I'm excited to read it. I sure like the technology, characters, and worlds in this series. Lots of big ideas!

I listened to the two Endymion books a few years ago; much of the details and story outcomes have faded in memory. Overall, as I recall, they were pretty good - not Hyperion good - but pretty good. Mostly I remember the resurrection coaches. And the pursuing priest.

I read all the books of this series last year, in sequence. I liked this one, for the story and the well defined universe, full of worlds and technological discoveries (for example, Archangel class starships or the resurrection cradles). The next one is the logical end and all the story is good, but I prefer the first two books of Hyperion.

I finally finished this and really loved it a lot...adding it to my favorites list!

If you read Hyperion should should recognise the cruciform used by Christianity to complete resurrection. There's nothing else in the Fall of Hyperion about this, as Endymion is hundreds of years later.

You don't need to read The Fall of Hyperion - but it's a good book, so why not? ;-)

I read all four in the quartet. Amazing! I think you definitely get more out of them if you read them in sequence.

I loved his reference to Keats throughout. Even got me interested in poetry which is a first.

Although I found it pretty heavy going at time, the series is on a truly epic scale. Would be awesome to see HBO make it into a series like Game of Thrones.
