ketchupman 's review for:
The Rise of Endymion
by Dan Simmons
Holy Eff-a-molee. This was a great conclusion. There were circles within circles. The tree star and the tiny glimpse we had into it's being. The Ousters and the tiny glimpses we had into their being. The time we had with everyone on T'ien Shan.
I almost didn't read Endymion and Rise of Endymion because I am dense and trusted the opinions of a couple underwhelming reviews on Goodreads. But... Because of those underwhelming reviews I took a 4 year break from the Cantos, and I think that 4 year break let me relive a lot of the flashbacks in Endymion (to both the first and second books).
Endymion was an epic adventure with only a few main characters. This is all over the place with political drama, another awkward romance, more flashbacks, action chases, religious apologetics. And it's all worth it. On top of all of the craziness going on, I think Simmons nails the denouement. Prove me wrong if you don't agree. Hah!
