One reviewer described the writing as “artless.” I think that’s spot-on. Life’s just too short for poorly-written novels.

Great book. I think I may like Brian and Kevin's writing style more than Frank's.

It was entertaining at least! I hated it at first having just finished chapterhouse, but I think I just got used to the new writing after a while. By no means would I call it good literature, but it was fun to read. A shame Frank Herbert couldn’t have written it instead.

Did not enjoy Chapterhouse and was told to not read this book if I did not enjoy Heretics and Chapterhouse.
