Loved it. Part space opera, part love story, part Chaucer, part intrigue; all awesome.

Seven pilgrims journey to the world of Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, and the mysterious Time Tombs and the godlike, murderous creature called the Shrike. These are their stories. Each story on its own is beautiful, heart breaking and thrilling; together they are a feast. Full of great characters, poignant moments and wild ideas. And the Shrike, of course, always the Shrike.
