I actually just finished my first read of it.

Enjoyable plot, but the relationship between the spice melange and Muad'Dib was odd to me. I feel like Herbert showed me part of Paul's sight and then forgot to return to it.

I give it a 7.5/10, probably gonna read children, but not immediately

you are wrong

You would have to read messiah before children.

Also, you are wrong. It's a cardboard plot.

What books do you read after dune? I heard Franks son wrote some shitty ones but I want to continue.

>> No.9380383

>>9380370
dune messiah, children of dune, god emperor of dune. After that the books skedaddle off into bullshit territory.

>> No.9380385

>>9380370
If you must waste your time continuing, the order is dune, messiah, children, god emperor, and then there's a fifth that herbert wrote. Everything else, his son wrote, and they're even worse than the already terrible dune series.

He manages to conjure up some nice desert imagery but beyond that I was pretty disappointed

I was going to read Alamut by Vladimir Bartol soon. That seems like it might be decent, and it's set in ancient Persia which as far as I know is nothing but sand and caramel bitches?

First book is pretty great but I'm halfway through the second and it took a nosedive into generic plot weaving genre fiction.

>> No.9384425

>>9383752
First is better but I actually like some things about the second better. It didn't take as long for the main plot to get going for one, also the characters felt a bit more "human" in Messiah, to me at least.

Also the speech that one old Fremen gives about seeing an ocean for the first time during the Jihad was some of Frank's best writing.

Wait, Brian wrote an entire book on the fucking Sandworms?
