Dune season is over, because I'm allllll in on Hylerion now!!
the world building was so, SO massive for such a small book but with each character's tale the pieces fit together nicely and really told a fascinating story. Some of the stories worked better than others, but for me the standouts were Father Hoyt's story, and Sol's story might be one of the most disturbing, beautiful, sad, and incredible I've ever read.
A bit of a bummer that this book has no real ending - but I've since started book 2 and - treating it as the second half of the book as it was intended - I think Hyperion Cantos might be one of my new favorite stories. I close my eyes at night and all I can think of is the Shrike and the Time Tombs.
