Just finished FoH - WOW!!
Down to discuss anything! Loved every page of it. Immediately watched and read a bunch of reviews, I can’t believe how split the opinion is??
I thought Simmons did a wonderful job of alternating viewpoints, the chaos of multiple POVs per chapter near the end really conveyed the frantic state that everyone was in. The addition of Severn was a bit rough at first, but he blended into the story incredibly well.
When I started Hyperion last month, I read a comment on this sub saying something along the lines of, “Simmons never introduces something he doesn’t later come back to explain”. And that was absolutely true! My favorite part about this, other than being a satisfying conclusion, was that nearly all of my questions were answered in very interesting fashion! Really scratched my sci-fi itch!
Now onto The Book of The New Sun before diving back into Endymion.
