Heretics of Dune by Frank Herbert

3.0

---

Thus far, this has been my least favorite of the series. It doesn’t feel very much like the first three Dune books. It does build up the universe and the lore, but I’m not sure I would recommend it anyway. There’s this sudden bizarre explicit sexual thread that permeates this book, and it doesn’t feel at home in the Dune universe - especially considering the original trilogy had essentially bupkis amounts of it. I will read Chapterhouse, but I have a feeling I’ll wish I had only read the first three - and maaaaaaaybe the fourth. We’ll see.
