A review by camsullivan
The Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons

4.0

This was a satisfying finish to the Hyperion Cantos and is my second favorite of the four. Simmons has a tendency to get lost in the weeds describing things which has always made these books much longer than the plot would indicate which is my main critique. I’m a little sad to be leaving the Shrike and The Void Which Binds Behind but this was the right moment to end it on. I’m still deeply conflicted about how gross the central romance felt at times though.
