A review by beytwice
The Great Dune Trilogy by Frank Herbert

5.0

I find myself amazed at the sheer expansive nature of world-building Herbert delivers in this trilogy. A franchise as open and ever stretching as Arrakis itself, I have nothing but respect for the environment built within Dune and all of its inhabitants. A sci-fi epic by no other name, all three of the novels contained within have their own charm and impactfulness.

While I felt Dune Messiah to be the weakest of the trilogy, it was still strong in its narrative and easily a four-star read of its own accord. The discovery that the franchise is in fact not a trilogy but a six-book stretch is no more than a pleasant surprise.
