At the risk of going against the grain, I find most of the relationships in the series were written a bit … Amateurish? Idk, it felt a bit fan fiction-y.

That said, I love the more horrific, methodically written, virtually devoid of any semblance of a healthy relationship prose - like in the Priest’s Tale.

It’s funny how we seem to have completely opposing viewpoints. Nothing wrong with that of course lol

I really enjoyed Hyperion. Unfortunately for me, the Priest’s tale in the first book is probably one of my favorite short stories of all time - it really checked all the boxes for me. The rest of the book/series was good, but didn’t hit the same.
