Well the ending continues into the next book

Canterbury Tales in space. Still quite good. And introduced me to Teilhard de Chardin, so there's that.

don't know, only just started it today.

Shit and pretentious. The only good part is when boring Keats references aren't being ham-fisted into everything.

Kind of cheap how we never saw them meet their ultimate end with the Shrike but I guess we already got glimpses of how horrible it was during their own encounters with it in their individual stories so more of a horror unseen imaginable type thing.

Kassad's story was incredibly fun.
