I enjoy Dan Simmons. The pacing of this took me a long time to acclimate to. I ended up setting it aside for a bit and watched the series in the meantime. It got me interested in finishing the book which of course ends quite differently. In the end I enjoyed it but the slow pace was tough at first. I was not expecting based off other Simmons novels like Carrion Comfort

Are his other books, like the one you’ve mentioned, faster paced?

The ones I have read, yes. Carrion Comfort is Great, as is Summer of night. Song of Kali is highly regarded but there was one scene near the end that was extremely disturbing to me personally, so I would not recommend it myself but it is well written. The Terror was surprisingly slow for me compared to everything else I read by him.
