quintonamorph 's review for:

Hyperion by Dan Simmons
3.5
adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Some information is related in really weird ways - it likes to throw you in this world and let you fend for yourself. Some of the stories try to do a lot of heavy lifting and aren't super compelling as a result (kassad snd Lamia especially). Otherwise this book is very solid with great characters and interesting worldbuilding
