This one was really interesting. The political intrigue with Alia as the villain gets a little stale, as does a lot of the political intrigue in the Dune books in general. Events are foretold to you and you just watch them play out as described, which makes the reading feel sluggish and tepid. But for whatever reason it works, and I couldn't put the book down once I got into the flow of it. I'd recommend and I'm excited to get started on "God Emperor of Dune".
