I love a sequel that's thematically consistent but also wildly different plot-wise. This is a good one.

Un segundo libro y el más pequeño de la saga es una gran sorpresa que sea muy bueno donde se corrige de alguna forma ciertos detalles del primero.
Los nuevos personajes y los giros argumentales que al ser muy predecible la pluma de Herbert aquí no lo fue tan, no me esperaba tanta osadía al final. Igual que en Dune, El mesías de Dune toca temas de política, poder, religión, diversidad cultural, la especia «melange», ecológica, condicionamiento humano y modificación genética de una forma más fatesiosa y junto con ella el dilema ético.
Me gusta la perspectiva un poco gris de los personajes principales sobre todo de Paul.
Si necesitas algo que adorar, entonces adora la vida: ¡toda la vida, hasta el último vestigio! ¡Todos estamos juntos en esta belleza!
“El sabio se moldea a sí mismo; el necio vive solo para morir”
Y la lealtad es un bien preciado. Se puede vender... no comprar, sino vender

I, too, would be a bit upset if 61 billion people were killed in my name. Most of this book is just Paul being like yeah I won't sleep with my wife and Alia being annoying and horny. It's definitely an interesting shift from the first book it's really hard to root for any of them. The whole Paul can see because hes living his visions in real time was really interesting. Like this is all fate but at a certain point fate fails him and things change. Im very torn about whether I want him to be dead or not. I want to say not enough happened in this but really how much happened in the first book.

Dune Messiah reads extremely different than the first book in the series. It was a bit jarring going from Dune to this book. I did enjoy the extra time with the characters.
