Yeah, you can say that again.
Finished the second book, and even though there are technically 2 more, I'm going to hold off for a while because vol. 3 & 4 (Endymion and Rise of Endymion) deal with an entirely different main cast, with a few exceptions, and takes place 300 years after the end of Fall of Hyperion.
When I found that out- that they weren't so much sequels as novels set in the same universe- I was a bit bummed.
Mostly because I found myself at the end of a book with nothing to replace it with.
I go through a very real kind of "withdrawal" when I let more than a day or two (tops) go by between finishing a book and starting a new one. It can really kinda fuck with my head if I have no clue what to read next, which is currently the case. I'm not a big re-reader, so old favorites are out.
Anyway, I'm starting to get shaky and weird, so if anyone has some dark sci fi to recommend, give me a shout.
