Very split on this book. On one hand it is an interesting continuation of Paul Muad’dib and Arrakis. On the other hand it is an overly complicated account of people talking about things. When “stuff” actually happens, it’s great, but it could use a lot less of the conjecture surrounding the “stuff.” I also didn’t care much for the characters. When the majority are calculated super geniuses, it kills a lot of the intrigue surrounding them.
