An interesting new chapter to the Dune story. Wordy - like the rest of the series, & leaves the ongoing story open for a new chapter...
What a book! Amazing. It was great to stick with the storyline set up in Heretics of Dune and to see a conclusion eventuate. There were lots of unfinished threads and one can see how there is room for much more writing to come. I didn't quite click on the final plan until it occurred, which was quite fun. I always enjoy when it sneaks up on you like that! Excellent writing.
With Herbert's death after this book, it appears the series was taken up by Brian Herbert (his son) and Kevin J Anderson. I know Anderson's writing from The Saga of Seven Suns, which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I'm willing to give them a try!

What a shame that Herbert died so early. What more could he have given to the world? This book remains a satisfactory conclusion to the Dune saga but I wish that Herbert could have given us more. I hope the wisdom contained within these chronicles has made me a more thoughtful and considered person. I am very grateful for the time I spent with this series.
