“The strong reading does not necessarily remove the risk forecast by many economists of the US economy falling into recession at some point in the next year.

But the stronger-than-expected growth shows the resilience of the economy as it deals with the headwinds caused by the Federal Reserve’s aggressive course of large interest rate hikes in an attempt to slow the economy in order to tame decades-high inflation.”

It starts pretty easy, the characters that get added towards the middle get a little convoluted and don’t get flushed out, and where all the paths lead in the end gets a little confusing. Upon finishing, I immediately went to google for an explanation.

I feel it’s a book that’s best understood on a second read through, which isn’t a criticism.

If you like fantasy and are dipping your toes into hard sci-fi, I highly recommend Hyperion. Definitely difficult to get into but the vignettes get progressively more rewarding, and by the end I was hooked.
