We are on a mountain world, where Aenea is helping design and build a temple. Rise of Endymion starts off kind of slow. The first two books (Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion) are masterpieces of their own, the third book Endymion is a bit more average, but it picks of at the end and the last couple of hundred pages promises a lot. You may want to wait until you can get your hands on the the sequel The Rise Of Endymion, before you buy this book.Īs the forth and conclusive book in the Hyperion/Endymion saga, Rise of Endymion has a lot to live up to. The first part of the book, may be a bit uninteresting compared to the Hyperion books, but as an ordinary adventure it's better than most and the ending is quite promising. well, that's just about it – it does pick up at the end (around page 450 of 563), and the ending makes you want more. Bettik goes on a ride trough some of the old web world, trying to escape from the Pax (Christian, immortals trough use of the Crusiform).Ī nice adventure, we get to see some interesting worlds, some interesting things happen and…. Endymion, Aenea and their android friend A. Aenea entered the Time Tombs rights right after the Fall and there for is still a child. The main character and story teller is a young Hyperion "native" called Endymion, who get the job of protecting the daughter of Brawne Lamia – Aenea. Taking place long after The Fall of the Web, there's (nearly) non of the old character from the Hyperion books. Not that it's boring or badly written, it's just far from as fantastic as the first two books. But I hear you say "What about the fantastic prose and fantastic and gripping story" – don't read Endymion for that either, you will probably be pretty disappointed. Actually the question is if there's any reason to read this book at all! Fall of Hyperion ends the story of the Cantos and the Web quite nicely, with nearly no loose ends. Sequel to Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion – there's no reason to read this book if you haven't read those two books.
