Children of Dune by Frank Herbert
4.0
adventurous challenging mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A worthy conclusion to the original Dune trilogy.  I still love book one the most, but those are big shoes to fill (Dune is my favorite Science Fiction book of all time).  Like with Dune: Messiah, parts of it were kinda confusing, but it was still really good (especially the ending --- all three of the Dune books I've read have amazing endings).

Not sure whether or not I will continue the series after this one.  I've heard the next ones get REALLY weird (and not in a good way).  God Emperor of Dune is supposedly really good, though, so who knows?
