Hyperion canterbury tales6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() This structure gives the novel a feeling of being more a collection of short novels than a proper novel, but the common theme of the Hegemony and the Shrike bring the stories together into a collective instead of each story standing alone. It borrows the structure of The Canterbury Tales, with a group of pilgrims on a holy journey sharing his or her story along the way. I enjoyed this novel a great deal, partly due to nostalgia, but namely because this is an incredible story. ![]() ![]() What I did recall was the humanism of the story, and how much it resonated with me beyond the story itself. I remembered bits and pieces of it - the Treeship Yggdrasil the story of Sol Weintraub and his daughter the Shrike - but for the most part I didn't remember the details of the entire novel. This is another series where I'm re-reading part of it before finishing it off, and I remember liking Hyperion a lot when I first read it back in college. With Hyperion, I've started on the last series in my Unfinished Series project, which I started last summer. ![]()
