On the world of Hyperion, the mysterious Time Tombs are opening. And the secrets they contain mean that nothing - nothing anywhere in the universe - will ever be the same.

Absolutely breathtaking!

Dan Simmons is an absolute master at crafting otherworldly experiences, the Hyperion Cantos should be held at such high esteem to be equal with the works of Asimov and Herbert. An incredible story from start to finish.

Great ending to the Cantos

This book was fantastic, though I admit I had to stop halfway through and listen to another book before continuing on. In many ways I found the book more slow-paced and frustratingly opaque than the previous ones, but perhaps that's the point, mirroring how Raul feels. Once I got into the book again it was hard to put down. Although Endymion and the Rise of Endymion are probably not quite as good as Hyperion and the Fall of Hyperion, it is undoubtedly worth reading the whole series.
