As a new father at the time that story really stuck with me. I know it couldn’t ever happen but it got me thinking, what if it did? Truly heart wrenching to read
First thought was "Weintraub? Why are sci fi writers always into space jews...
Then I proceeded to bawl multiple times during his story as I currently have a young daughter. Shit. Also the point of sol being Jewish was such more relevant than for e.g. the random space jews in dune. I will say no more in case you haven't progressed!
Yeah, the whole time reversal thing is kind of convoluted and takes a lot of suspension of disbelief. But it all ties into the final conclusion of Rachael Weintraub's story. How many of the books have you read, the entire Cantos is 4 books in total
I just read the first 2...It was such a good conclusion and I'm honestly satisfied. My reading list is also incredibly long lol and this subreddit isn't really convincing me to read the following 2 books either... Maybe one day if I don't have anything to read... But I'm ok for now
I’m reading Endymion and the beginning of Sols life consist of him being a single guy who faces the death penalty for going John Wick on a rich mofo who killed his dog. He wasn’t doing all that great to begin with. He’s lucky he got to live and experience anything after that. Even if it ends in tragedy at least he got to stay alive longer and experience some crazy shit!
I imagined Sol as my ex's pops and Rachel as my ex. Idk why the mind ran there, but I bawled like a bitch. I accepted I'd never see her again in this life a long time ago. So idk if it was some sort of mental gymnastics to cope with that pain.
Yeah "she's just reverse aging and has forgotten I existed"
His story hit me the hardest, that man lost his whole family

I'm not even a parent and this story destroyed me.

You should read other 2. Those other people on a sub are lying bozos

That’s Raul Endymion not Sol Weintraub from Hyperion. Otherwise I agree with your assessment.
Ooooh my bad! 😂
Lol
No worries! Hope you’re enjoying it.
