Same happened to me with Hyperion, did read the second one, was not satisfied.

Children of time is very good, I have the second part in my backlog.

Currently reading The Earthsea Quarter by Ursula Le Guin, finished the first book, I like it a lot. I like how they handle magic and names.

Will check your recommended books :)

I have a special place in my heart for Ursula LeGuin - The Wizard of Earthsea was one of my favorite books as a kid. This series was sort of my first jump from goosebumps and other RL Stine novellas to young adult fantasy.

I was more than a little sad when my son didn't enjoy it as much as me. :'(
