A review by astridrv
Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert

challenging
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
Boy did I have a hard time getting through this one, although it was worth it. Still having a hard time with Herbert's cryptic and jumpy writing style, with occasional stunning sentences or paragraphs piercing through. It is an absolutely necessary second installment to Dune however, and I think my doubts about plot holes are likely to be solved within the larger canon of the Dune universe. But will I have the patience?
