Flaws of characters a main focus:

I find some of the characters very annoying for many different reasons, but the worst for sure is Chani. She simply has no personality outside of being Paul's love interest , which is kind of outrageous.

It's about the colonization of a planet, and the main character is The Chosen One. Expect violence, war, and of course plenty of misogyny - this book is from the 1960s and was written by a man. Some things are simply offensive.
