The Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons

5.0

---

An amazing ending to a fantastic series. Certainly has a different feel from the first two, but the Endymion books are still quite good in their own right. I was happy to find that a lot of loose ends and unanswered questions from the Hyperion books get answered , but some possibilities are left for the reader to wonder about. I personally really enjoyed the ideas presented in the two Endymion books, even if they do get a bit what some would call "preachy". I guess my advice would be if you disliked the later books in the Ender's Game series you *might* dislike the Endimion books. If you however enjoy the near mysticism of the later Ender's books and enjoyed the first two Hyperion novels you should definitely read the two Endymion books. Good sci-fi epic fun.
