bergh_the_bookpirate 's review for:
Hyperion
by Dan Simmons
Loving a highly-acclaimed book and weting a review about it can be a bit boring. A bad book is easier to write about. So here comes a lot of praise:
The writing is the best part. It is very descriptive and the prose is beautiful.
The characters are very distinct and because you know everyone's backstory, everyone is very relatable.
My favourite stories are the Scholar's, the Soldier's and the Detective's. Especially the Scholar's is a gutpunch.
I like the fact that every story is their own genre and even had their own writing style.
The world-building is cool and intricate. The Shrike is menacing.
The only two downsides are the cringy sexscenes and the abrupt ending.
I hope part two can stick the landing!
