Such a fascinating read but minus 1 star for Herbert’s homophobic and sexist takes.

To be brutally honest? I think this book killed the vibe of the entire series for me. Not only are we now pushed forward with such a massive time gap that it feels as though the events of the first three books are so null and void, but now we have an even mopier Leto II in his brand new form.
It was hard to feel any connection to the characters as none of them were the ones we followed through the first books, only long long descendants of those characters. That and Leto II being one of my most disliked characters made it hard to find the want to follow and see how his story will end. I'm not entirely sure why I'll still read the last two books, most likely just to say that I've finished the series.

Absolutely insane book. Horny worm… a bit of homophobia but also some really wise words and ways of thinking that are interesting overall… I did enjoy it but it took me ages.
