Mentats of Dune by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson
4.0
I took quite a bit longer to read Mentats of Dune than I have any of the previous novels. Life just gets in the way sometimes.
Mentats of Dune continues to the story from the excellent beginnings in Sisterhood of Dune. Where the previous novel began the amazing journey through many of the most familiar schools of Dune this book seemed to focus narrowly on the struggle between science and religion.
Overall, it was well written, though I would have liked to see the story itself move forward a bit more than it did. It seemed like a whole lot of back and forth between Venport and Torondo with the Sisterhood and the Mentats caught in-between.
While not overly impressed with this installment, I look forward to the next book to see how all this concludes.
