The first and last 30 pages of this book are the most interesting.

Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: "Now it's complete because it's ended here."

I finally finished the whole Dune series by Frank Herbert!
I must admit that getting thru Chapterhouse has been an effort. This is a slow burner that gets deep into the conflict between the Bene Gesserit and the Honored Matres faction. Like last book, it is great to see this SF major book where most leader roles are women instead of men. Nevertheless, it was difficult to me to navigate across the story.
While this last episode hasn't been great for me, the overall collection is the best SF series I have ever read. Epic, deep and unique
