Title: Loved it despite the ending
Review: I really liked the frame story structure, though some of the stories were hard to get through. I found the Poet's Tale particularly annoying, though I suspect it was the author's intent for you to dislike Martin Silenus. The story of Sol and Rachel was very moving and for me was the highlight of the book.One complaint I have is the book does not stand on its own. Make sure you have a copy of The Fall of Hyperion on hand when you finish this one.Some other minor complaints are the use of colloquialisms from the present era. The Ousters could have used a more thorough introduction.
