Endymion
Being out of school is especially nice because my To-Be-Read shelf was filling up with things to be read and I was running out of room to put new things to be read. It’s too bad it took me nearly three months to actually finish a single fecken book. (I’m a sloooooooow reader.)
Endymion is the continuation of the Dan Simmons’ Hyperion. I really like Hyperion when I read it four or five years ago. I thought that the second book in the Hyperion series was the end. Somehow I stumbled upon Endymion a few months ago and it was then that I realized that I had never finished the Hyperion series.
Endymion is the beginning of a brand new story, not a continuation of the Hyperion saga. There are some familiar characters and it is good to know the Hyperion story, but you could really just pick up Endymion without reading Hyperion and be just fine.
I think I liked Endymion much more than Hyperion. And since I really like Hyperion, I guess you could say that I loved Endymion. I can’t say that it was flawless, though, so let’s say… 4 out of 5 stars.
So, there’s one more Endymion to tackle. I’ll get to that after Deathly Hallows.
Say goodbye to steps starting at midnight tomorrow. Deathly Hallows it is. READ TIL YOUR EYES BLEED!!!!!
Can not wait.
I’m excited, too. But I’m waiting until beginning of August so I can read it on the plane to/from B.C. It’s going to be tough holding out.
I’m so glad you wrote about Endymion so I can put it on my “to read” list, since you’ve told me about it a million times over drinks and I space it out once I’m actually in front of the computer…
