A review by dainean
The Hyperion Omnibus by Dan Simmons

5.0

One of my new favorites. It's complex, and it takes some time to get in to, and there is quite some style differenc between the first and the second book (The first being more of a frame story, while the setup of the second takes a bit longer to figure out), but in the end, there is a massive and grandiose impact, where most of the characters feel genuine and make sense.

It definitely has a few flaws, and at times it seems to try a bit too hard to be clever or grandiose, but damn, these books earned a favorite spot in my bookcase
