Good to know I still love this universe even after all the time since reading the first book. I am super appreciative that Frank Herbert didn’t waste our time re-explaining his universe to us. He trusts his readers to remember the events and world-building in the first book and saves us time in the second book because of it.

Dune Messiah is plots and prophecies galore. Visions and vipers. The movements of characters is crazy in a way I won’t explain here but I’m excited for the movie for sure. I predict it will be more exciting than the first but less exciting than the second.
