Ok but this lived up to the hype!! Frank Herbert very clearly had Tolkien-level worldbuilding skills, and much less random exposition. I'm definitely not smart enough to pick up on all of the themes at play here, but the edition I read had an Afterword by Brian Herbert that helped explain some things. A banger.

Enjoyed this as an audiobook, though found it hard to navigate so many characters. Having seen the film for the first book that was really interesting to listen to, and the next ones make me look forward to the next adaptations. Found some things weren’t quite explained - but maybe because I was not paying attention properly sometimes. Of ending that is thought provoking and leaves me wanting more or to flick through all the Princess’ extracts.
