The Fall of Hyperion

I can't decide whether I like this book more or less than Hyperion. I think I like them both but for very different reasons. While Hyperion was brilliant in its variety, the way it mimicked the Canterbury Tales in tonal shifts, Fall of Hyperion is brilliant in the way it brings those tales together. Time travel makes me a bit dizzy, and there are still some points I don't understand Where did Brawne's superpowers come from?, but the way it connected memorable characters with themes very close to my heart (society's dependence on technology, what would happen to a world without the Web?) make this one of the top sci-fi series I have read. I'll definitely read Endymion, though I'll take a break first. One can only stare into Hyperion's lapis sky for so long. Lapis, lapis, lapis...
