Hyperion

I'm glad I finally got around to reading the first book of Simmons's classic series, Hyperion, which somehow makes the idea of a far-future science fiction Canterbury Tales work extremely well. There's far too much in this book to discuss in just a short review, but I loved how each of the pilgrim's tales gave us a different perspective on the creative universe Simmons has imagined. Each tale also fell into a different subgenre, providing a wide variety of styles that likely appeal to many different kinds of readers. I'm excited to see what the rest of the series has to offer!
