Sometimes, I would forget it was written by a man in the 60's, but then one paragraph about a woman would come up and suddenly I remembered

Loved the first Dune, but this was just boring and I didn't feel attached in any way to the characters.

Dune crawled so Messiah could walk. This entry is worth the heavy, exposition-laden first entry. A meditation on politics, Dune Messiah is an engaging political thriller with a whiff of mystery. A nearly perfect work.

Even though this book is a lot smaller than the others, I feel that they depicted the details of the Holy War without actually showing the war taking place. It was so well done to the point where you still feel the ramifications of the war through dialogue and character actions. I found it wild when Paul compared the casualties of his war to Hitler and Genghis Khan.
This story did well making me feel at odds with my initial support of Paul in the first book. Here, there really is no true protagonist. The ending left me curious about what comes next. With Paul just leaving into the desert, who is left as emperor and what comes of his new born twins.
Overall a really well rounded book with layered characters and plot lines that tie up well in the end. I do see myself re reading this one eventually because so much takes place that I feel I missed some details.
