This book more than the previous ones definitely shows Herbert's strengths and weaknesses. His strengths in presenting interesting reflections on ecology, sociology, religion,  and humanity's relationship to tech. His weaknesses in building real characters, in engaging storytelling, in the weird sexual stuff that permeates his work and certainly other things.

Ultimately, I was just interested in Leto II and the Golden Path. I have zero interest in reading further though, especially since it only gets weirder from here and I feel this book was the thesis of the series. A lot had to be ignored in this book to enjoy it.

I don't have much to say. One good scene, the rest was forgettable, will reread in the future.
