A beautiful continuation of the Dune Saga. This book dives even deeper into the religious politics of the Dune universe than the two previous, and makes you excited to read God Emperor of Dune.

Minor: Incest

The children of this book are mentally centuries old and have lived thousands of lives, but their bodies are still children (around 16). Throughout the book their individual relationships are spoken about, and it is implied that they both individually will have sexual lives with people who are currently adults.

This could be the last dune book you read if you want. Very satisfying and really wraps up the whole thing, I'd say. It all really starts to come together at the end of this one and everything that's come before gains a new purpose. Admittedly harder to just fly through the way the first book was, but that doesn't make it bad!

Think I might have lost a few too many braincells reading this one, lads 🫡

Absolutely insane stuff and I'm not sure if that's a compliment.
