A beautiful continuation of the Dune Saga. This book dives even deeper into the religious politics of the Dune universe than the two previous, and makes you excited to read God Emperor of Dune.

Moderate: Toxic relationship, Suicide, Torture, Addiction, and Adult/minor relationship

Minor: Incest

The children of this book are mentally centuries old and have lived thousands of lives, but their bodies are still children (around 16). Throughout the book their individual relationships are spoken about, and it is implied that they both individually will have sexual lives with people who are currently adults.
