A review by romankurys
Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert
4.0
Despite many no so favorable reviews, I found I enjoyed this book a lot.
Now, I see what the others are saying, however.
1. It does feel like this book is a sort of an interlude between original and part 3.
2. It does feel like nothing is happening up until the very end.
3. It is an extremely slow book.
With that said. It is FULL of philosophies of Arrakis and the Dune world in general. It delves deep into the mind of Paul, and people around him. It helps to almost self reflect back to Book 1 and realize many of the details that I overlooked. I feel like I've got to know the world more from this book and now the next one will feel so much better.
I don't think I wold fully enjoy Book 3 if I didn't immerse myself into the Messiah.
Here's a comparison that comes to mind before you choose to read or not read this book.
If you thought that Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time became too slow after the first book, you will not like Dune Messiah.
If you enjoy Wheel of Time more and more with each Volume, felt immersed into the world beyond the point of no return, make the time to read Dune Messiah.
I definitely, without any doubt will be reading he next part.
