Buddy Read with Markus


I love this series. It's like the most beautiful poetry about betrayal, love, family and kingdoms in a Sci-Fi setting.

If you loved the first one, you will love the second and third...and I'll be working my way through this series. I need more...


2.5/5; this was the weakest of the Dune books so far. It was too long in the beginning and kept its story to close to the best, because it was so long it felt interminable to figure out what was happening. Once I got 75% in and things began to be explained it made more sense, it just felt like the first 75% could have been cut in half. It sets up an interesting next chapter but was not an exciting read throughout.
