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.

Still incredibly good. Can’t wait to finish the full dune series.

It builds to a crescendo in a rush and conveys the frantic-ness and risk inherent in the story. And the ending opens the imagination far beyond what is written. Not an ending. More possibilities on the path.

While I haven't yet ventured into Hunters of Dune, and so cannot adequately judge Brian Herbert's ability to match his fathers intellect or prose, it will is an eternal tragedy that Frank passed away before being able to finish his second trilogy to complete the Dune septet (with God Emperor acting as a literal time-bridge). The immensity of his vision, the complexity of his thought, and the neverending limit of his creativity are unmatched as a combination for any author I have yet experienced. The original Dune trilogy, while exceeding in its cerebrality, is Star Wars-esque in its scope, but it is his second "trilogy" that demonstrates the depth of his plan for the Dune universe and its view of the human condition, as well as humanity's potential. I cannot recommend this series highly enough.
