i thought it was somewhat dull compared to Dune. And children of dune is certainly more involved (even if Leto II does wind up with a power level over 9000).

At least its better than God Emperor of Dune. I'm struggling through that mess right now, shit sucks

i'm probably gonna eat shit for saying this but I thought that the Brian Herbert book "Sandworms of Dune" was by far the best in the entire saga.

Although I never read House Harkonnen

fuck david lynch for destroying my favorite book.

The SyFy Channel miniseries was fucking great though. Even though the background greenscreens were cringeworthy at times, they did a 100000x better job actually interpretting the story.

I might be the only one who enjoyed Children of Dune.
But goddamn, those final chapters.

Just started reading it last night.

I think it's great so far, although im barely a third of the way thru it

>> No.3105239

I liked Messiah. A lot, actually. Truth be told I only read the first 3 books but I'd say I liked the original Dune the least out of the 3. Children was badass.

Was thinking about picking up the fourth and finishing the rest, but the fact that the kid went and expanded the universe to such a perverse extent almost makes me want to say fuck it because nothing matters anymore ;_;

It was really enjoyable that they kept the suspense with the Prophet and the Alia interplay was also really neat. The link between the twins is also really awesome, and everything really joins together at the end.
It was the last true Dune book to segue into another Dune book properly.
Well, as properly as a large time skip can be.

I like Children pretty well. It wasn't as good as Dune but I thought I was substantially better than Messiah.

I did NOT like that the Baron was the evil to resurface in Alia's psyche. An infinite line of ascendents and the fucking Baron is the most manipulative and dominant personality? Yeah, nah... But i guess he had to make it as circumspect as possible to maintain relevance.
