yaser0l 's review for:

Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert
5.0

"I have killed 61 billion , sterilized 90 planets , demoralized 500 worlds and wiped out followers of 40 religions "

This summrise the destruction inside paul , note that this is the best future paul has seen .

This book was the fall of paul , not statuslly but personally , he gets destroyed emotionally by the death of chani , physically by losing his eyes , mentally by the vision , each part of his self is losing something though out the book until the final conclusion of his walk to death .

This book is more condensed than the first one by far it took so much from my brain , this book goes deep in political and religious status , religion comes from the fremen side while politics comes from the others (bene gessirit and tleilax , guild and the fremen ) , inside religious there is political aspects and vice versa .

This book answers two questions from Dune
1. The navigators form
2. The spice part as a valuable substance and here comes the geniusity of Frank , the spice play a role in powering the mind , after the butlerian jihad , the schools went to enhance the human mind rather than depend on machines , and the spice played a huge role in this .

The characters in this book are magnificent, already paul one of my beloved characters his ideas his tries to correct the course of universe his relationships and how he manages them , alia is perfect to see the conflict between age and super mind her desires and duties , hayt the conflict between present and past self , fremen's beliefs , scytale and the tleilax ultimate ghola , it gives too many characters and their goals , intentions , causes in this world .

Paul is not the only one who can prescience but the best , this idea gives more believabllity to the powers in the series .

Lastly there is some question to be answered or thoughts to be explained.

How paul see through his son leto's eyes ?
why irulan decided to raise paul's children ?

I have a complain , please frank explain the sci-fi tools used .

After finishing the book it left in me a void , part of it was because of the overwhelming of the book , and the larger part because of the devastating of the ending , particularly the ending of paul as he walks lonley in the desert, blinded eyes , broken heart and mind , to his death by shai-hulud to crave his name as the religious character paul muad'dib atreides and the fremen usul .
