A review by literary__escapism
Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

4.0

Let me make it clear from the start, I'm a fan of the original Dune series but I'm also a fan of the books by Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert, since House Atreides is the book that got me hooked on the Dune series.

I picked up Sisterhood of Dune straight off finishing The Battle of Corrin, since I am re-reading all the books with a friend. Sisterhood of Dune was a completely new read to me, and I'm glad I included it in my re-read.

Sisterhood of Dune is the first book in a new trilogy called Schools of Dune and centers around the establishment of the Sisterhood, the Suk school and the Mentat school. It is full of action and adventure, as the new Empire emerges and plays of power come in to focus involving the Butlerians, the Emperor and Venport Holdings.

I found Sisterhood of Dune a little slow to start with, as the authors throw in a lot of new characters, but once it got going I couldn't put it down. While I did find one or two plotlines a little ordinary, I was impressed with how it all came together and became a unputdownable read.

Definitely recommend it to other fans of the series, and I can't wait to read the next book in the trilogy, which I believe is being released in 2014.
