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.

    The director recently said that should the 3rd one get greenlit it will be his last. So it’s not confirmed but its been pretty successful so far.

      I really hope we get a third one. I’m a big enough fan that I would happily see the full series in movie form, but I get why they would stop at 2 or 3.

      Honestly, I’m just incredibly happy that we got one good movie out of it. Even if it stopped there I’d’ve been happy.

        I’d have been a little upset considering the first movie ended half way through the 1st book. Lol

          True, but even that much was way more than I thought I’d see in my lifetime. Definitely happy we’re getting the second part, though!
