Wow…I was impressed with this book. Fantastic world-building and a very interesting story that unfolds through what I would describe as 6 novelettes told within a overarching story. 

Just be prepared to jump right into the sequel, Fall of Hyperion. This book focuses a lot on the world building and ends kind of abruptly without much of a resolution in the overarching story. I suspect much of that resolution comes in the second book.
