A review by mothfae
Dune by Frank Herbert
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
5.0
A few chapters in I felt that this was a book I would always wish I could read for the first time again. Rich in world building, themes, politics, and complex characters, I absolutely loved it!
I understand now why it’s hailed as the grandfather of sci fi epics; and while there are a few evidently outdated influences (mainly the sexuality of the baron), I still found myself amazed at how relevant the themes tackled in Dune still are today.
