Taking the first Hyperion duology as a single novel—which is what they absolutely read like, more than two distinct stories—I didn’t really grasp what the greater narrative at play was until I was what, 4/5ths of the way through? But even though I didn’t fully understand what was happening for why, I was regardless compelled by its unique and fascinating universe. And now understanding what it’s all about, I just know this is going to make a phenomenal reread sometime
