I just finished the second book of Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos

The first one blew me away, so I broke my habit of never reading follow up books in a series, because they are usually trash.
Well, it was still good. Not as good as the first on my opinion, but still easy to get hooked on. I really start to dislike the direction this is taking and I will not continue with the third. It starts to feel like the stakes are getting to high for a comfy sci-fi story and the plot an subplots just start to go wild. Some subplots seem to trail off forever, while other get spontaneously resolved. All the while the time travel shenanigans seem to be out of control and sometimes it just feels like the author is like "I ain't gotta explain shit".

Still I really recommend it as comfy sci-fi, but I do not think I can stomach going on.
