Really happy you have finally gotten into the Hyperion Cantos. It's one of the most overlooked series and also one of the best!

[TheBralessDiaries]

“This is in my top three sci fi ever read”

K, so can we get a sci fi tier list? Please?!?

[heygus]

Hyperion is a book that took me completely off guard in the best way. Looking forward to this review and your evolution with the series.

[fuar]

I love how Hyperion also touches on everything from tech, the environment and even colonialism and it’s legacy. And even mental health is unbelievably still relevant for a 32 year old book!!

[marcasieber]

The Scholar's Tale from Hyperion is one of my favorite science fiction stories ever. It's great in the context of the book and also an excellent standalone short story. Got me right in the feels.

[cfire]

Ah man the scholar's story in Hyperion always gets me. Gotta admit, when I read hHyperion the first time I cried like a baby

[oldmanjenkins]

I’m excited for you to read Dark Age. Book straight up killed me

“I am Cassius au Bellona, son of Tiberius, son of Julia, Morning Knight and my honor remains.”

One of my favorite scenes from all of Red Rising.

For most people Iron Gold ranks lower on their list of RR books, but I think each book in the series is better than the previous. So Iron Gold is my second favorite book in the series. However, when I first read it I was kind of disappointed. It wasn't until my second and third reads when I finally saw how amazing it is. I think the hype of waiting for it to be released, and then reading it in like a day kind of hurt my opinion on it.

The quality in Pierces writing really takes a step forward in Iron Gold. Pierces prose is my favorite of any author. He gets my heart thumping like nobody else, except maybe Brandon Sanderson in the Stormlight Archive.

Hyperion totally gripped me from page 1 and never let go. Haven't been so fully engrossed in a book before or since. Hope this review gets more people to check it out!

Hyperion has been something I've considered reading for a while. Glad to see a review of it.

Military: **makes million dollar bombs**
Daniel: **reviews books** look at what they need to mimic a fraction of my power

[sakecarp]

Oh god the spine designs...
That kind of thing never fails to annoy me. WHY DOES THIS STILL HAPPEN

[ethanwilliamson]

My dad gave me Hyperion to read when I was 14. Being from a Midwest, conservative family it was quite odd for my dad to give me that book, specifically chapter 2. He later told me he completely forgot about that section and apologized for ruining my potential monk career.

[andrewkraus]

I'm glad you enjoyed Hyperion. Probably my favorite book of all time.

[reaperofmars]

Red Rising Content!!!! That's exactly what I need right now

Are you ready for Dark Age? That book *destroyed* me.
Also I absolutely fucking love Appolonius au Valii-Rath, he's such an amazing villain
Loads of love <3

[ian]

I just bought Hyperion! Hoping to read soon. Glad you enjoyed it!

[jackinthebox]

Dude, I've been waiting two years for you to review Hyperion. I'm so glad you liked it 😁

[raviscud]

Hyperion is a masterpiece and Dan Simmons is such a compelling story teller in multiple genres..I love The Terror and his early horror as well.

[gavinsmith]

Daniel, my man, my Goblin, you are NOT ready for Dark Age.

[joeflowers]

The Hyperion series is one of the best. I've read through them once but feel the need to re-read as I know I missed a ton. So good. Glad you are reading them.
