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.

    Hyperion + the fall of Hyperion -> the expanse -> Endymion + the rise of Endymion

    I haven’t read the expanse yet, but Hyperion -> Endymion was way too jarring. I quit the first few times, and loved it after taking a few months long break.
