To Hyperion or The Expanse? (lemmy.ml)

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.

I’m about to go into Hyperion after a suggestion from a friend, just got through frank herbert’s Dune, finished chapterhouse. Before that I got through all of Asimov.

Not sure what hyperions about at all yet, but looking forward to finding the time! Sorry I don’t have a suggestion

Man, I loved Dune so much. I haven't picked up the sequels yet because I still have so much in my backlog, lol.

I didn’t care for the Dune sequels at all. The first book is a masterpiece, but the rest to me felt like a waste of time.

I recommend introduction to internal family systems by Richard Schwartz, not quite science fiction but it’s completely altered my consumption of fiction, and I’d love to be able to share that.
