By far the weirdest of the Dune saga I have read so far and at the same time a contender for my favourite Dune book. Set thousands of years after Children of Dune it has a lot of new factions and changes to the planet itself to sink your teeth into. Deeply philosophical and mostly dialogue heavy means some people might be turned off, but the ideas presented are thought provoking and have aged quite well.

1 very small criticism is

the scene where Nayla has an orgasm while watching Duncan climb a rock tower. Reads very much like “Men writing women”
