birdsatan 's review for:
The Rise of Endymion
by Dan Simmons
More so than the previous book, this one spends a lot of time describing religious ceremonies, the names of mountains, the structure of buildings, and the names of a couple dozen people without personalities or backstories. There's a big chunk in the middle that's particularly tedious, and the book as a whole lacks the sense of adventure of the last one.
That said, it's still an interesting read with a lot of super high stakes, a few great settings, and what's ultimately a satisfying conclusion to the entire Cantos.
