Love that the author of the article jabbed Rothfus and Martin directly.
Hyperion is my favorite sci-fi next to Dune. It's inspired a lot of the features in my D&D homebrew world, including the Shrike, the river, a few deities, and other textures and layers to my realm.
Farewell, ~~friend. You were one of the good ones.~~ I wish you hadn't gone the wrong direction.
He was a good author but was completely brainwashed after 9/11
