House Atreides by Brian Herbert
5.0
DUNE is one of the most complex and unique properties out there. It’s weird, filled with machinations, brutal, and complex. That’s why I love it so much.
HOUSE ATREIDES chronicles the beginnings of Duke Leto Atreides, Duncan Idaho, and Emperor Shaddam. This of course, doesn’t discount the Fremen, Harkonnens, and all the others who occupy this dangerous universe.
If you’re not a fan of politicking, you may find it hard to enjoy this book. So much of the plot and story revolve around power struggles and treachery. Everyone is after their own goal and will do whatever they can to get it.
The characters are an eclectic lot. While some, like Leto and Duncan do have honor on their side, most of the cast is ruthless. No one can truly be trusted and it keeps the tension raised.
Though the plot focuses on schemes and court machinations, there are a few action scenes to make things more entertaining for casual readers.
I’ve always loved the Dune universe and found this to be easier to understand for my style of reading. Highly recommended for new fans and casual readers who want to dive into this complicated and fascinating world.
