Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert

2.5

I've heard some say that they like Dune Messiah more than the first one. I'm not one of them. I hoped it would provide more insight into character motivations, but I found that it lacked not only that insight, but also grounded action. I was lost in the author's convoluted (though often beautiful) writing, and was left with more questions than answers.
What happened in the jihad? Why does Paul feel unable to change the future? What specific actions do others want him to take to improve things?
