its more fast paced, compared to the first book. The events all happen too sudden and it feels like everything was rushed in this book, where in the Dune 1, everything took its time. there was details and lore.

Frank Herbert made sure to let readers know that Messiah's are the harbingers of death in this one.

I felt the character development was much better here than in the first novel. My main issue is the forced relationship found between it's pages. Otherwise I really appreciated the much more emotional, consequence riddled story.

Far less adventurous but just as thought provoking. I enjoyed the read quite a bit.
