Sadly, a disappointing end to the Dune series. Lots of political intrigue and scheming, however none of the groups were that interesting. Sheeana's abilities introduced in Heretics were almost completely abandoned. Overall I feel like the quality of the writing took a nosedive compared to the previous books. At least the battles of Gammu and Junction were interesting.
BOOOOORINGGG!!! Snooze fest fr. These last two books in this series were just not good or interesting at all. However, I am delighted to say that I have finished all of the original Dune series. I definitely see why these were so popular and really shaped scifi. The first three were absolutely phenomenal, so I recommend at least those. I honestly even liked the fourth one, but it is a bit weird. The last two though, unless you just want all context of these 6 books, just don't

Is Frank Herbert a genius? Yes. This is obvious the more of his books you read. Does that make this a good book? Absolutely not. The Dune series appears to depict humankind’s journey to immortality over the course of several millennia. We never see this realized as Herbert passed before finishing the series. I recommend only reading Dune, and if you must read on, be done after God Emperor. If you’re curious, read a synopsis of the rest of the series (including the conclusion written by Brian Herbert, which sounds more than anything like a bad fanfic).
This book also had some wtf moments…a child clone is sexually assaulted to bring back the memories of his past lives??? The Dune series often depicts children with the psyche/memories of adults but I could’ve done without ever reading that.
