    The first book was awesome. I think the second book was ok, but disliked dead characters getting resurrected for apparently inane drama. The book I finally stopped at was whatever one it was that the main character turns into a telepathic immortal sand worm and was abjectly awful.

    I think they’re making the right choice. Dune has some amazing world building, but the series got muddled down into whatever drug fueled fugue state and stopped being interesting.

      God emperor is a masterpiece and one of the best philosophical books I have ever read. It just felt like the author has a very deep insight into the human condition. It’s not a typical book with a lot pf external action happening though.
