Endymion

Endymion by Dan simmons. I just finished this one today and gave this one 3/5 stars

Some aspects of it I didn't like or the book failed to really explain in a way that makes any sense

Like why do the farcaster portals only activate for Aenea when the network was, at least in theory, destroyed.

If the AI techno core is connected to her and activating it for her, and have this ability why have they left the farcasters dormant for nearly 300 yrs

A planet with a frozen atmosphere, and on the top of said atmosphere its a near vacumme which my impressiom was like the moon, which has a near true vacume (as even space is not a perfect vacumme and has some particles of matter and the solar wind) has a wind one can feel blowing

The constant death and ressurrection cycles becomes redundant etc... but at the same time raised the stakes for Aenea, Endymion and Android bettik as they are mortal and not “of the cross” while their enemy can just keep being ressurrected

Its not all bad. The catholic church taking over the galaxy with the cruciform parasite was a interesting development that I enjoyed.
