Even though I like it, it feels dated at points. I would of liked to see a more nuanced take on gender. It is also a bit fat phobic and if not explicitly homophobic, the only character who isn't straight is also a pedophile and horrible villain.
Moderate: Fatphobia
Minor: Pedophilia and Slavery

bluejayreads's review against another edition
- Paul took a torture test to prove he was human (there was doubt for some reason I guess?)
- there was an exposition conversation about a prophesied male savior who could access both male and female magic (I think it's magic?) as opposed to the women who were limited to only female magic
- an antagonist got introduced briefly
- Paul did duke's son things like having lessons and talking to members of the guard
My husband assured me that it did get better, so I kept going. And it did not. I felt more connection to the character being forced to betray the Atreides family than I did to Paul, his mother, or Duke Leto combined, because he at least had desires and motivations. And that connection wasn't great - I don't even remember that character's name.
Graphic: Torture
Moderate: Fatphobia
Minor: Death

There’s a couple of bits that drag a little, particularly toward the end of Part 2 and into Part 3, but overall, it’s very enjoyable.
Moderate: Addiction
