Took four books to get to the weird homophobic themes and incomprehensible eroticism but I made it!

Definitely better than the 3rd book. While I like the people reading the book, I had to speed it up a little bit to not drag.
I do really with there wasn't so much casual homophobia throughout the books. It's not even like it's intrigal to any plot or story, it's just randomly added in every other book. Also the incest, why?????

Minor: Homophobia, Incest
This book is a wayyy different breed than the first 3 books of the dune series and it was a lot harder to get into than the first half of the series. I fully would've rated this 2 stars if it weren't for how visceral and satisfying the ending was.
For every good scene in this book, there's 5 scenes talking about whether or not Leto's grotesque wormy body can have sex, why the military encourages latent homosexuality, the usage of people as breeding studs, nonsexual acts being described as causing orgasms, and just straight up lesbophobia. It's a lot to slog through.
