segoy 's review for:

The Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons
1.0

This novel was a challenge, and is my first DNF in years, though I toughed it out to the two-thirds mark.

It's a systematic unraveling of everything about the first two books that was compelling, wondrous and interesting, accomplished through endless exposition dumps and self-congratulatory philosophizing. It's boring, unsubtle and you would be better served reading a summary if you need closure that badly. Or just stop at book 2.
