Daug siužeto vingių, šokinėjimų tarp personažų, tai skaitosi ganėtinai lėtai, bet tuo visiškai neįmanoma nesimėgauti. Turbūt geriausias dalykas ką apskritai esu skaitęs, bent jau kūrybiškiausias tai tikrai. Lekiu iškart skaityti kitos dalies.

P.s. If you have trouble getting into this in the beginning Dune part one might help you understand better. I haven’t watched the original adaptation in a decade so I can’t speak for that one.

In general, my biggest struggle was that it was difficult to find a character I could relate to and root for (even Paul). Everyone is pretty much painted as cold and calculating, with fairly little emotional depth to make them more human. The only exceptions to this seemed to be the characters of Lady Jessica and Gurney Halleck (and thus they ended up being my favorite characters). The overall story was gritty, dark, and violent which also added to the struggle of getting through the book. I'm grateful for the glossary at the end of the book because while the writing was easy to follow, the terminology as it relates to the fictional world of Dune was complex and often without any context.
Moderate: Violence, War, Death, Addiction, Torture, and Murder
Minor: Rape

Moderate: Rape and Homophobia
There is a reference to the villain raping a young male. The author is pretty homophobic but it isn’t something that’s always obvious. But to be fair that content shouldn’t be in there at all in my opinion.
