Hyperion was great, but only half the story. This book changes the narrative structure to a first person account from M. Severn, and a third person narrative of what was happening at the time tombs. I wasn’t invested in either Severn, Gladstone, or any of the central characters in the book, and the stories I was interested in seemed to be cutoff halfway. At a little over halfway into this book, I bailed and went for the plot summary.
