orange_flower 's review for:

God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert

3.5

---

pros:

• interesting continuation of world building
• many philosophical themes with exploration of religion, technology, tyrants, ecology, etc
• cool characters with fascinating motives

cons:

• weird sexual moments like nayla getting off on the wall climb
• plot is pretty much non-existent, 90% is leto yapping and half of what he's saying doesn't even make sense
• characters aside from leto don't feel fully fleshed out in their own right
• abrupt ending like in the first book, feels like a set up for the next book rather than an actual conclusion
