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.

    Expanse is like reading an amazing and realistic adventure.

    Hyperion is like reading an adventure while high on shrooms.

    They’re both very well written and entertaining, but so different in their set-up.

    Currently in my life I prefer realistic style scifi over mind bending stuff, so I’d recommend the expanse. .
