it’s really hard for me to judge a book so far into a series, chapterhouse felt like heretics part 2 which isn’t a good thing even tho i liked heretics. it feels as though the stage was set in heretics and chapterhouse is only the final moments of these characters. i had hoped for more sheeana and all i got was a few chapters. i had also hoped that the ending of this saga would somehow call back to events and people of muad’dib time. i fell in love with the fremen of dune and their absence in the second half of the trilogy is definitely a factor. all in all i loved reading the dune saga, and even though these last few books fall short of those magical chapters in dune and children of dune i don’t regret reading them.

Like Heretics of Dune, the quality of the books is up to power, perhaps not to the original book itself but still good nonetheless. However, the similar issue of getting very far removed from lots of original characters due to time jumps makes it rank a tad lower. One of the biggest issues with the book and the reason why its in the 3 star bracket would have to be the ending. it ends with a cliff hanger that never gets resolved. I believe this book was to be the middle book of a trilogy with Heretics, Chapterhouse and "Dune 7" but the author sadly passed away. I might of ranked it higher if the following books were actually in line with Frank Herbert's plan but alas they are not and does a massive disservice not only to Chapterhouse itself but the series as a whole.
