I’ve had both, the Hyperion series, and The Expanse series sitting on my shelf for years now, and only ever read a little bit of the first books of both series.

I’m currently re-reading the Lord of The Rings trilogy, but after, I’m planning on reading The Expanse or Hyperion series.

Which should I read first?

Edit: Thank you all so much for your feedback!! The general consensus seems to lean towards reading The Expanse first, so I think I’ll read through Leviathan Wakes and then read Hyperion unless Leviathan Wakes provokes me to directly continue into the second book.

    The last few pages of Leviathan Falls hyped me for a sequel that will never come like no other story ever has.

      Man me too… and then like two days after I read the series… I read an article that said the authors wouldn’t ever return to it… lol

      I mean it’s perfect… But c’mon man! Damnit!

      In case you missed it, they released the novella The Sins of Our Fathers in 2022.

      edit: the epilogue takes place in the far future after Leviathan Falls.

        I think it’s only a month or two after. The far future is the epilogue of lf
