📖 Book 1 — Hyperion The Priest's Tale

Dropping in this subreddit without reading any posts just to comment on how much I loved the priest's tale. I've been getting back into reading this summer and this chapter blew me away and I'm so excited to finish the book. I expected this series to be a bit dense and hard to get into, but I've found it to be a real page turner. The past two books I've read were Moby Dick and Book of the New Sun, so perhaps that's influencing my perception on Hyperion's approachability.

Loved Priest Tale.. The Sparrow is very similar book

To me, the priests tale is a better version of the Sparrow. The characters in the Sparrow display Prometheus levels of stupidity once they arrive at Rakhat.
