If the first book is an acid trip, this is ego death. absolutely batshit. Maybe a little bit too batshit in terms of not really anything happens and there's an assload of people talking nonsense but that's exactly what you want from Dune, so it works there.

I absolutely devoured this, but if the complaint with the first book is there's a little much action when you want to explore this incredibly deep universe, there's too little action in this one.
