This is particularly true with the Shrike and the final scenes of Aenea.Īfter being the focal point, in some ways, of the first two books, the Shrike might as well not exist in this story. By the last quarter of the book, he has over 2,000 pages of story written, and the story-line endings are wrapped up much too quickly. For one, it was over 700 pages, but striking, it seems rushed at the end. That being said, he may have intended this book to be two. The beginning of this book is so smoothly integrated to the prior in the series that they must have been written together. As the final story in the Cantos, this is where they all come together and finally meet, and the story concludes with two big twists, one is you didn’t see coming, and the other, which was underwhelming, see below if you don’t mind spoilers (if a book published over 20 years ago fall under spoiler protection). Captain de Soya is brought out of exile and commanded to continue his pursuit of Aenea as the Pax, the Church, and the Core all seek to capture her. Raul, after having separated from Aenea, continues on his own journey with the end goal of meeting back with her as planned. This is a nearly seamless continuation of the story from Endymion. This is the final book in the series, check out my review of the other three – Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion.
