curtis49 's review for:
The Rise of Endymion
by Dan Simmons
Possibly 4.5 stars, though the author gets a bit carried away with his side bars of things philosophical. He does keep things interesting.
My first thought starting the second two books of this series was that each two books of the four were pretty much stand alone. Having finished the final book four, I would recommend the reading of the first two books. Splitting hairs, though, one could read each two books as one series each. Okay, so i waffle on this.
Simmons toys with time and space a lot in this saga. I liken his "far-casting" and events that happen after the before (exactly: you will read what happened after before you read the before in some cases) to a tale set on a Möbius strip. A one sided, two dimensional phenomenon. What goes around comes around.
Excellent craftsmanship in the writing. Keep a dictionary handy to stay up with the vocabulary. Oh, and allot some time to muse after reading and rereading more than one passage.
