To Hyperion or The Expanse? (lemmy.ml)

I've had both, the Hyperion series, and The Expanse series sitting on my shelf for years now, and only ever read a little bit of the first books of both series.

I'm currently re-reading the Lord of The Rings trilogy, but after, I'm planning on reading The Expanse or Hyperion series.

Which should I read first?

Edit: Thank you all so much for your feedback!! The general consensus seems to lean towards reading The Expanse first, so I think I'll read through Leviathan Wakes and then read Hyperion unless Leviathan Wakes provokes me to directly continue into the second book.

In case you missed it, they released the novella The Sins of Our Fathers in 2022.

edit: the epilogue takes place in the far future after Leviathan Falls.
