I started Hyperion by Dan Simmons last week and it has been a bit of a slog to get into it. The world building is fantastic, the scifi concepts are next level, but the way the writing style changes during each characters recounting of their time on Hyperion is disorienting and takes a while to get back up to reading it at a normal speed if that makes sense. I'd recommend it to any true scifi fan at this point, but my opinion is still in limbo on whether I like it... I'll let y'all know later.

I had to take a break from it and read the second Murderbot novella Artificial Condition, which was an excellent distraction. :)

I’m a big fan of Murderbot! Short and fun reads.
