Taking a break from Pratchett to read Hyperion. Really enjoying the slow build-up of atmosphere and circling into the central mystery. Noted some good writing tricks I haven’t seen used before.

My brother from another mother ... I read Hyperion last week! Agree on writing techniques, although veers towards conceits at times. Well worth your time.

The use of a 2-deep frame story structure feels weird but fun since I associate it with stuff like the Arabian Nights
