Recently I finished Asimov’s Foundation universe and now I want to try something from other authors. Two series I’m most interested in are Dune and Hyperion but I’m not sure which one to read first. Any recommendations?
Edit: I decided to go with Hyperion first and after that I will read Dune. Thank you all for commenting.
Both of these are premium examples of book series that start out amazing and then start cicling the drain in book two. Add in “Ender’s Game” for the trifecta.
I expect downvotes.
Southern Reach trilogy would be my example. That and Forever War have the worse sci-fi sequels of all time.
You’re right, but Hyperion’s sequels are better than either Dune’s or Ender’s Game’s.
Also, see Kevin J. Anderson for a dude who’s made an entire career out of pooping in other people’s sand boxes.
I’m sorry, Speaker for the Dead is circling the drain? Complete change in tact sure, but I’d hardly call it bad
Xenocide on the other hand…
