I don't even know where to start or even if I comprehended this story as intended but regardless, this was a really interesting read. Being set 3500 years in future, I was worried that the story would not be as compelling since all the characters we had journeyed with would be dead. Frank Herbert introduced compelling new characters and somehow...brought back my boy Dunkin Idaho AGAIN(This man is not allowed to rest in peace). The politics and schemes at play by the hand of Leto II is masterfully crafted and leaves me curious about how the series goes on. Who will be the main characters going forward? The question I always asked myself when reading this is if the golden path was necessary. Is this path of extreme tyranny really the only way humanity survives or is it the only way humanity survives with the Atredies survive. Especially with how Sionna's arc ends here. Regardless really fun book, I can see myself revisiting this one day because I am sure I missed certain details and messages that Herbert likes to plant in his stories. On to Heretics!!!

" Remember what I did! , Remember me! , I will be innocent again! "
This books gives me the new experience of the first 2 books .
After thousands of years this book gives a refreshment from the past books , the first to have brand new characters except 2 , dune becomes forests, and he remains the sole ruler of universe the emperor of all .
I love this book because it explores more the bene gessirit and ixians , this books revolves around the ideas of inner freedom of a universe without a sole ruler .
The characters though new , are magnificent, siona and her rebillous thinking , duncan - i hated him - and his defiance, moneo and his loyalty, the gentle hwi , nayla's confusion , the crazy malky , anteac , the bene gessirit and their chapter house , the ixians , their technology and their would be predator .
this book introduces new characters but they are effective .
This book has a good amount of events and character relation complexity , it has interesting ideas of armies and freedom and government .
The beginning and ending of this book, a glimpse of the future people after the scattering.
As always the ending are marvellous, the scattering of leto and his talk about siona's ability to fade and the sudden death of nayla .
"By the thousand Sons of idaho and by the nine daughters of siona "
"No thinking machine can do what we the decendants of them have done "
We say as the poet lon branlis has said :
"We are the fountain of suprises"

I see why people do not enjoy this entry as much as others, but I have to say... this is probably my second favorite book in the series. Even with some of Leto's incoherent ramblings or how it hops around and tells the story in a way I was not super fond of... this was still fantastic. I wish Frank would have explored Siona more as I found her super interesting. I am chalking some of this as potential setup for the second "trilogy" but will see how it goes.
Wow what a hard read. You dive in head first to this new world and new characters and suddenly everything is different. This book is filled with philosophy and lessons that I still carry with me. This book changed the way I think subconsciously about a lot of things, and I think everyone should attempt to read it.

There is something intriguing about the shift from book three to book four, but it isn’t quite enough to make me love the new universe Dune finds itself in. We’re 3,000 odd years after the previous text and the main character (Leto II) is now an intensely grotesque worm-like man who masquerades as a god. Perhaps upon rereading this one I will find more depth, but in this first reading it seems comparatively less intriguing than the previous text. It is still good however. I’m hoping this book gets better after reading the next one, and that it will be an essential moment in the unfolding history of Arrakis - but we will see.
