Think I might have lost a few too many braincells reading this one, lads 🫡
Absolutely insane stuff and I'm not sure if that's a compliment.

Spends a while meandering just like the other Dune books but once it gets going around the halfway point it really gets weird, what an experience.

"Stop trying to pull me once more into the background, Sister."
After much deliberation, I have decided to give Children of Dune 4 stars instead of my originally planned 3.5 because looking back at some of the things I tabbed, I think I liked it a lot. I think the beginning is stronger than the ending (I did get a little lost there) but I was really happy to return to the world of Dune once again. I love everything that happened with the twins and Alia but I'm kind of mad about what they did with some of the other characters (Duncan, you deserved better). Some of it seemed a little haphazardly put together as opposed to the other Dune novels. That's kind of what I was expecting. But yeah, I think overall I really did enjoy it. I just love Frank Herbert's writing. I am excited to get to the next one (it might take a while lol) even if it's not the best thing I've ever read. They're still fun.
