5.0

I finished, but it took me forever. I REALLY liked how in depth the political system, ecology and economic system blended together to make the perfect world. A masterpiece of world building, truly amazing. I wasn’t a huge fan of Paul as a character, I felt like he didn’t have much personality. Maybe because of the writing style you didn’t really get that personal detail. But I felt like he was a complex/deep character just not very likeable. I love the Bene Gessirit, I think the organization is very interesting specifically the Missionaria Protectiva. The mix of spirituality and politics just makes my little heart happy. ALSO?? The quotes in this book are very well written, and has some of my favorite quotes.
