Finally I have finished the entire Hyperion Cantos the series than began with the all time sci fi classic Hyperion almost concluded in The Fall of Hyperion launched a second arc in Endymion and ends here with The Rise of Endymion These last two books read like a duology than the third and fourth installations of a series The Cantos is often discussed in PrintSF my sci fi books discussions online community The second half of the series tend to be uite polarizing Some people love it some say it is disappointing one reader even calls it a bad fan fiction of the first two books The Goodreads average rating for these last two books however indicate that they are uite well liked by the majority In my opinion they are well worth reading if you like Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion but they are not sf classics like these earlier books This is not one of those series that can be read out of seuence in fact The Rise of Endymion continues directly from the previous volume Endymion After narrowly escaping capture by the Pax church state and their secret partner the insidious and malevolent mega AI entity the TechnoCore our heroes the messianic Aenea and Raul Endymion have settled down on Old Earth just Earth to us for a few years That is until one day Aenea instructs Raul to go on an interminable mission to pick up their spaceship which they left on another planet in the previous book and bring it to her at a preprogrammed destination After finally reuniting with great difficulty they travel to the planet where the Pax run Vatican is located and confront the Pax and the evil AIThere are uite a few edge of the seat thrilling scenes in this book especially those involving the killer super cyborgs T 1000 like Nemes Scylla and the other one The eually formidable Shrike from all the previous books is also present to challenge these whippersnapper cyborgs However the book is not a thrill ride all the way as Raul s solo adventure to reclaim their Consul s Ship drags at time though he did get to meet some wonderful characters and cultures on the way The climax is suitably epic and mystical and the events that follow wrap up the entire Cantos nicely I did see the twist at the end from miles away though if you have read this book I d love to know if did the sameAwesome Russian cover I have had it with this motherfuckin Shrike on this motherfuckin raft Dan Simmons prose is always great to read slipping into lyrical mode from time to time with the odd and very odd poems The characterization is the main strength of this book the protagonists and antagonists are all very well drawn The sci fi aspect of it is not so mind boggling now as they were mostly featured in the previous books Some of the new sci fi elements border on fantasy such as FTL traveling by foot through a sort of hyperspace shortcut Not to mention all the chosen one and messianic tropes In fact Aenea reminds me a lot of Paul Muad Dib from Dune All of the mysteries from the previous books including the origin and nature of the Shrike are explained to the displeasure of some fans who prefer them to be left unexplained The book is also very romantic optimistic and yet kind of tragicI am glad I have finished the entire series but the first two books classic Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion remain two of my all time favorites which I would like to reread some day I enjoyed Endymion and The Rise of Endymion but I am not likely to reread them

Aye on the shores of darkness there is lightAnd precipices show untrodden green There is a budding morrow in midnight There s a triple sight in blindness keenI don t think I ll be able to review this one properly and as it s the fourth and last book I hardly think I ll be able to influence anyone to read the series or not either waySo all I have to say is that I ve really enjoyed this journey Dan Simmons has allowed me to go on in the countless worlds of his Hyperion Cantos This book had its downsides but it was a worthy conclusion to what is now one of my favourite sci fi series

I survivedAs I ve reported in my previous reviews of this series there were times where it seemed as if my gray matter was going to be permanently fried by this epic sci fi story I finally got through to the end with most of my marbles still in the bag they came inIt s almost impossible to give a summary of this without spoiling the previous book so I ll just say that Aenea and Raul Endymion continue their interstellar journey to fulfill her ultimate destiny as the powerful forces of a corrupted Catholic Church and the artificial intelligences of the TechnoCore try to stop them by increasingly desperate means Oh and the mysterious and deadly time traveling Shrike continues to pop upThis isn t just your standard sci fi space opera about a chosen one saving the galaxy from the Death Star What Simmons has done here is create a tale that spans time and space in which even Jesus was a player and the ultimate stakes are the fate of evolution of life in the entire universe As with the other books he s done an incredible job of building multiple stories and fusing them all together into a rich and diverse whole Any one of his concepts could have been the basis for an entire book or series like a planet where the cities have been built high onto the tops of mountain peaks due an acidic ocean at lower altitudes That s just one stop along the way for Aenea and RaulSo how did I live through it Dan Simmons finally revealed himself to be human and somewhat fallible here in the last book Don t get me wrong It s still an excellent series and one of the most ambitious sci fi stories I ve read But there were a few things that irked me in this one that took it down from five stars to four and that probably kept my brain pan from overheatingFirst is that Simmons goes back and alters some of what we re previously told in the earlier books I m not sure if he originally planned to end it after two books but carried it to four and had to do some changing to fit an ending he came up with later or if he just discarded some ideas late in the game but I didn t like that what we thought happened in the first two books turned out to be untrue Simmons didn t commit any crimes against his fans on a George Lucas scale but it bothered me particularly the revisions to the Shrike s origin and ultimate fateI also don t think that Simmons knew when to turn off the creative mode and shift into resolution mode He kept adding elaborate new settings and characters and events right up until the end game and it started reminding me of how Lost just kept piling new characters and mysteries into its final season and didn t do nearly enough wrapping up Simmons still managed to provide a mostly satisfy ending but when he added yet another mind blowing new setting in the last uarter of the book I found myself getting a little impatient Still these are minor uibbles about a sci fi story that swung for the fences and managed to deliver on almost all of it s potential
