"Anything and anyone can fail," he said, "but brave good friends help."

Astonishing and Frank's prose at his best imho. Leans into absurdity and extrapolates on the heavier philosophical themes in Children of Dune and the other two books. Leto II is an incredibly verbose but compelling character. This is the pinnacle of the series for me and feels like the perfect place to end my series read (for now).
