Endymion by Dan Simmons
Jerico's review
rating:
I didn't really think Hyperion needed a sequel and the first book, while interestingly plotted and written, didn't do much to change my opinion. However, the work Simmons does with Aenea
in the sequel and the heart wrenching ending cemented these sequels as part of the series perfectly.
As and aside: It occurred to me that with Hyperion and Endymion's religious subtexts, one could view the first two books as a kind of Old Testament view of religion and the second two as a kinder, more personal, New Agey New Testament kind of thing...
