There were parts of this book that I enjoyed, but I had a hard time with most of it. The plot moves along really slowly, and then a lot of stuff happens all at once in a way that I had a hard time seeing as truly climactic. This book presents a lot of questions and doesn't answer a lot of them. Leito is supposed to be a god emperor, but he isn't really presented as one in the book. We read of the control he has, but it's hard to imagine how he maintains control of his empire based on his behavior in this book. There's a weird focus on sex throughout this book that I had a hard time seeing the reason for. I did enjoy some of the philosophical discussion.

Not sure how to feel after reading this. I think I hated it the entire time. But something happened near the end that made me spiral into existential crisis. So it might be quite good - if that was the goal.
The Dune series makes me feel like I'm insane. Like loosely hearing muffled sounds on the other side of the wall and trying to pinpoint exactly what song it is. The closer I listen, the further I get from being able to identify what it is.
