Unreal disappointment for me. Hyperion duology was a total 10/10 masterpiece but I could only make it about 70% through this one. Just an incredibly dull adventure story that lacks any of the substance (or anything, really) of the first two books. The worldbuilding isn't that interesting, since most of the cool technology is now gone and there's just endless boring church guys ruling the planets now. There's a weird dynamic going on between the protagonist and a 12 year old time traveling girl that I'm happy I stopped reading before it becomes a romance. None of the characters are interesting. The overarching plot and themes aren't just left without any meaningful new additions, they're actually rendered lesser.
Can't imagine a bigger dropoff in quality for a sequel than this
