HOLY MOTHER OF ALL CLIFFHANGERS!!!!
Where to begin with the book? Hyperion really takes the multiple character perspective chapters to build a world/story thing to a crazy and awesome level. What impressed me most was that each of the main characters stories has a distinct style so it's like you get several mini stories of various tones and almost various genres that all weave together so beautifully. Hyperion tells the tale of a group of pilgrims off to meet this crazy time bending death dealing diety of sorts right as super space war is about to break out on the very planet they are traveling on. I've seen in other reviews that this and it's sequel flow right into each other and I can't wait to read the next one because this one ends with a major cliffhanger!!!
