The Dune series is one of the greatest things ever written, I flew through this, was fantastic.

Plot or Character Driven: Character

-I was missing the variety of strong characters from the last books 
-basically a thought experiment: what if an emperor had 3000 years to rule instead of a single lifetime? (And he was also a worm?)
-more focused on philosophy and political theory than adventures and worldbuilding
-the ending made it 4,25 instead of 4 stars bc it made so much sense

Overall a good book, but needlessly sexualized at times. Big set pieces get undercut by a female character being just *so turned on* by watching a dude. It contributes nothing to the story or characters, just makes me roll my eyes and move on.
