These novels are so ridiculous with their Year 21000 A.D. sword fights, feudal systems, Abrahamic religion, never-ending betrayals, and attempts to create mind-blowing philosophy at every turn. What is Dune? Dune is basically a space soap opera. No one can be trusted. Every move is an expertly craft...
Book Riot 2015 Challenge: Science fiction novelI thought this was okay. I didn't enjoy it as much as Dune and Dune Messiah. It could be because I found the absence of Paul as a primary character makes a difference. The focus on Alia and Jessica and others battling for control of Paul's children drag...
Dune is a great book. A book about a young man, being chased by bad guys discovered that he had the power to control the worm. The story is more like a lost prince getting back his empire. The main character, in order to gain power, use the myth of the people and turned himself into a messiah. ...
It's fascinating to see the development of the Dune series. The first novel was a great examination of how leaders come to power; Dune Messiah was about the regrets that power can create in said leaders; and now Children of Dune is about tearing down that structure of power through corruption and c...
This is the third novel in the Dune series, so you should at least read Dune and Dune Messiah before tackling this one--the question is if having done so you should continue on at all. I loved the first book, Dune and rated it a full five stars. After the epic sweep of the first book, the immediate...

This may be heresy, but I think this is my favourite of the Dune books so far. I found Dune interesting, but oddly opaque. The second book was more accessible, but didn't really grab me.But Children of Dune manages to combine some of that accessibility with the complex ideas of the first book, and I...
Nine years after Paul Maud'dib disappears into the desert, leaving his newborn twin children Ghanima and Leto II orphans, we find that Alia has succombed to her Abomination fate, Irulan is as ineffectual as ever, Jessica returns to Dune, "and all the rest" are further devolving in the hot mess that ...
Children of Dune is definitely more engaging that Dune Messiah, but I surely missed having Paul as the main character. Ghanima and Leto II take center stage, except that it's mostly Leto II, whereas Ghanima takes a back seat, being the "weaker" one. I don't think I ever got around to caring for Leto...
