A review by reasonpassion
Mentats of Dune by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

4.0

The writing is stilted and goes over things in a descriptive to note the mindset of the characters that gets repetitious and annoying at times. However, this is the style of the authors not the theme of the book which is quite well kept throughout and eerily mimicking of the real world in far too many ways. Frank Herbert loved exploring the power of religion not as a thing itself but as a psychological phenomenon. Here that love is continued and the fascination leads into story telling both diabolical and full of warning. The world of Paul had a horrific start and this explains that in every detail.
