The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons

adventurous tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

Thought it was a good follow up to the first book! This one was a lot more plot-focused and less on the characters, which was a little bit disappointing because I grew so attached to them from the first book. But I liked that we still felt connected to them through Severn's dreams (also I think it's funny that we get John Keats AI version....TWO). I also thought it was interesting to get more of the politicking in this book, and especially to learn more about the AI side of it and infighting among those factions. plus, the AI god gave me big cosmic horror vibes which I was very much into.
