Arguably the best sci-fi book ever written, the first two in the series are just incredible.
It's a tough read (definitely some complex prose), but it's a special book/series.

Actually it's part of a four book series. Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and Rise of Endymion.
I was confused about the cliffhanger comment. Now it makes sense if you stopped at book two.

Same. Really interesting aspects to the story, but it was a massive slog to get through.
