You can generally separate the Dune series (those written by Frank Herbert) into three parts: Dune, God Emperor Dune, and the fallout.
Dune Heretics is the next part of the story in the Dune series and I’ll say while I wasn’t disappointed, I was not inspired. Dune God Emperor at least had a lot of philosophical concepts. This was more plot driven and the plot did not excite me.
In short, meh

Po lėtos ir filosofiškos ketvirtosios dalies pirmiausia kas krenta į akis, tai visiškai pasikeitęs pasakojimo tempas. Viskas vyksta daug greičiau, beveik visą laiką vyksta kažkoks veiksmas, o ir pačių dialogų daugiau. Įdomu išvysti praeitos dalies gale pasėtų sėklų vaisius, o ir nauji personažai, bent jau keletas jų, neatsilieka anksčiau matytiems.
Obettačiau, kiek sunku neignoruoti visų keistenybių, kurių Kopos serijoje tikrai netrūko, bet dabar jau kartais gal net ir per keistai pateikta. Knygoje netrūksta perdėtai seksualizuotų momentų, su kuriais viskas kaip ir būtų ok, bet nu wow, kaip jų kartais nereikėjo. Keisti ir patys naujai pateikti konceptai, o kai kurie iš jų net neturi jokios atomazgos. Nepaisant to, labai smagiai susikaitė, Herbertas vis dar stebina savo itin gilia vaizduote, o aš nekantriai laukiu pamatyti kaip čia viskas pasibaigs.

I liked most of the new characters, and the writing was super easy to follow, but there was a lot of talk about breeding, and that was weird.

This is definitely the horniest of the Dune books. I must admit, I was unprepared for some of what I read. In terms of tone, this feels like a departure from the previous books, yet it builds extensively on what came before. I love the additional world-building in this story, as well as the complex relationships between sex, religion, and genetics. And after so much focus on the male political and religious figures of the previous books, it's refreshing to see the women take control - not that there weren't strong female characters earlier in the series, but they are certainly more present and powerful in "Heretics". Plus, that ending was unexpected, but totally worth it and I can't wait to see what comes next.
