Dune: House Atreides by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson
4.0
*Actual Rating 3.5*
The first in the prequel trilogy to Dune (and yes, Kevin J Anderson, an author who used to be associated with the Star Wars EU assisting Brian Herbert writing a prequel that was released around the time of the Star Wars Prequel trilogy is not lost to me) the book does not compare to the legendary prose and attention to detail that Frank Herbert gave to his characters in Dune and the human philosophy, politics, religion and intrigue that the novels generated.
If you’re a fan of the Dune novels, and want to know more about why the events of Dune came to be, this book is for you. Little dialogue - Herbert and Anderson walk you across a plethora of characters and time jumps, with POVs switching between characters in paragraphs. While the politicking and posturing is in full affect, it does add to the mythology that is dune and for that, the book does well.
