Can‘t comment on Dune, but the Hyperion Cantos starts awesome, becomes a bit dull later and then has a surprisingly emotional ending in Fall of Endymion.

Dune. Hyperion was really cringey, I didn't even finish it.
Dune. But only read the first book. It’s a masterpiece, but the others in the series are just plain awful.
The sequels are not perfect by any means, but 1-4 had me at full attention throughout and then slowed down after that for me. 2 is so short though I really lump it into Book 1 in my head.

I read Dune and havent read Hyperion yet. Hyperion has to be better because watching paint drying is more appealing to me than rereading Dune. It doesn't make sense and the characters are flat and horrible.
