I highly recommend the series!
The first book, Hyperion, is written in the same style as The Canterbury Tales, featuring an ensemble of protagonists on a pilgrimage to a holy site known as the Time Tombs. On the journey, they each take turns telling the tale of why they were chosen for the pilgrimage.
That sounds really fun.
I hate the stories that have 30 chapters of exposition before "the thing" happens.
I get you, but don't worry. There is plenty of thing happening before the end.
Definitely.
Sorry, I didn't phrase my response well.
Your recommendation sounds great and very different from most stories I encounter. I look forward to reading.
