A review by literary__escapism
House Harkonnen by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson
5.0
The House Trilogy is my favorite of all of the extended duniverse trilogies. It was the first one that I read and it has continually became a firm favorite for re-reads. Mainly because it is leading right up to the book that makes this series so popular - Dune.
In House Harkonnen we see the Baron, with his protigy Rabban, making plots within plots to squeeze every grain of spice out of Arrakis and to bring about House Atreides downfall. We see Kailea and Rhombur Vernius trying to ressurect their exiled house. Meanwhile Leto Atreides is trying to set up the right political marriage, while still keeping the affairs of Caladan in tact. And as always the Fremen and the Bene Gesserit are awaiting the messiah - the one that will be transform Dune as we know it.
I love the plots within plots, the colorful character and the epicness that this book encompasses. Every time I re-read this book (this was my fourth re-read) I fall in love with it all over again. It is epic, it is amazing and it is a must read for scifi fans.
If you haven't picked up this series, I highly recommend you do. Fantastic reading!
