Leto's journey is superbly weird and outlandish. I liked the absurdity of it all, just not much of the execution.
A lot of the story is conversations, which slows the pace and weighs it down with philosophical meandering.
I could feel Leto's boredom with omniscience... Duncan and Siona's Atreides rebellion is a great turn of events to showcase Leto's tyranny. Moneo balancing his reverence for Leto with his fear of the worm was compelling. Too bad it's all a little underdeveloped by the end.
