I finished both Hyperion and Golden Son a couple of days ago.
I'm kind of disappointed with Hyperion... It was compelling, and the world building was incredible, but the whole book just ends without resolving anything. It was all just lead up to where some resolution should happen and it just abruptly ends. I'm going to have to read the next book just to see where the first book was supposed to go...
Golden Son is the second book to Red Rising. The first book was good, but this one was incredible!
Currently reading Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky and Morning Star by Pierce Brown.
Both are scifi - Morning Star is the 3rd book in the Red Rising series - I can't recommend this series enough!
I'm only about 20% into either of them, will report back.
Red Rising is such a good series. The sixth book was released yesterday, so starting on that as soon as I'm done with my current series.
But an even better series is the Children series by Tchaikovsky. Did a "tour" of his sci-fi books after Children of Time, and can recommend them all. Shards series (starting with Shards of Earth) just finished, so another good series from him there.
But a word of warning about Children of Memory (the final book in Children series):
spoiler
There is a chapter there near the end, and it is the only time, ever, that i have cried at something i've read.EDIT: Sorry if anyone saw that last one before i got it in a proper spoiler. Apperantly lemmy doesn't follow proper markdown for spoilers...
Looks like I have to add these to my list!
