Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert
challenging
mysterious
slow-paced

I really like how this explored the consequences of Paul's Jihad. Like Dune, the concepts are incredible and way deeper than you would expect.
But. There isn't much actually going on, and the text spends too much time dwelling over and over on the same thoughts from the characters. In Dune at least there was more action to break through the monotony.
Overall, Herbert's writing style feels to me like he had this cool idea and told me about it, but I didn't really had the chance to see the story playing out.
