Well, They've Had A Bad Few Days

Tube driver this morning's monotone announcement:
"Kings Cross Station is still closed, this train will not be stopping at Kings Cross."

Passengers in my carriage, unanimously:
"Well we hope not as we're currently on the Charing X Branch platform at Euston and you'd have to reverse back to Camden to go to Kings X from here."

He repeated it just as we came into Warren Street too. I'm worried.

No no, I just meant would be very difficult to talk about what I was getting at without spoilers.
It has the structural problems of Fall of Hyperion rather than the "being rubbish and making a mess of the earlier books" problems of Endymion.

I do think Hyperion was a better sequence, at the moment.

Ah, that's okay then. I can live with a few unanswered questions...

I'm with you on its standing between Hyperion and Endymion.

A re-read may be a good plan but for now I've moved on to Michael Marshall (Smith)'s crime/thriller series (The Straw Men, The Lonely Dead, Blood Of Angels) whilst Lat re-reads Ilium (I told her it was a good idea) and then reads Olympos.

Want to talk about this via email?

Yes, but I won't get around to writing anything coherent about it there either this week.
