I have worked my way through millenia of Dune history from both the Herbert's and my unpopular opinion if the original series is not that great. Chapterhouse is the final book written by Frank and it was disappointing.  I struggled to find much of a story, it was filled with (as most are) betrayal and murder plots.  In previous books it has been easy enough to identify the good guys from the bad even if this has shifted over the centuries but not so in this book.  I finished it feeling quite confused over what I had just read.  I'll push forward having come this far and hope that Brian can shed some light on things in future books.
