Loved the massive jump to the future but staying with Leto after his transformation. Really fun read, such an awesome and weird story.

Deze is voor de Dune gekkies, voor als je er echt zin in hebt. God Emperor of Dune heeft eigenlijk niet echt een plot, en het soort plot wat er is, is fucking belachelijk: 2/3 van het boek is filosofisch dialoog en Leto is een arrogante zak en hoe red je de (domme) mensheid en een weirde love triangle en dan op het einde gebeuren er opeens heel veel dingen (classic Frank!) Maar Frank Herbert kan zo mooi schrijven en ik ben low key verliefd op deze wereld en het is fucking visionary voor de 80s (met een beetje misogynie we moeten wel eerlijk blijven) Dit is denk ik wel mijn fav Dune tot nu toe? Maar goed je moet er wel zin in hebben!

Fun ideas at play here, but for the first time it's stretched a bit thin. Beginning and ending are great (wolf chase, desert test, bridge attack) and some of Leto's ramblings are genuinely interesting, as is the context established by the prologue and epilogue, but still, it's a struggle to get invested in all these new characters when Herbert mostly focuses on Leto and Duncan, who still end up feeling flat compared to their previous iterations.
