I really enjoyed this installment in the Dune series. It had a lot more of an adventure and dystopian-rebellion type of vibe which was a nice change in pace. I plan to re-read now that I understand the idea of the Golden Path and Leto's Peace more as the first read through was confusing in some parts due to a lack of understanding on my end. There were entire passages, especially conversations involving Leto that I couldn't parse the meaning of which was a bit frustrating. The storyline and characters are engaging, unique and multi-faceted although I do wish we got more of Siona's story. I see why many people consider this installment one of the best in the series, it really held my interest throughout.
