A review by shane_tiernan
Sandworms of Dune by Brian Herbert
4.0
So this is it. The FINAL book in the original Dune series. I guess it would be more of a big deal if it was the last Dune book I'll ever read, but I've got at least 3 more that I know of. It IS kind of a big deal though, considering that I read the first Dune book probably sometime around 1982. That means I've been reading this series for about 36 years. :) So it was cool to "put a cap" on the original series and I'm glad that I really enjoyed it.
At first I felt a little like bringing the old characters back was a trick to sell more books, to make readers get nostalgic, but really Frank Herbert laid out the original ground work with Duncan Idaho so it worked for me. It was great to learn the history of the Honored Matres and also cool that they added ideas and characters from the prequels into it.
So basically what I'm saying is that I think I'll be okay reading Dune books until I'm dead.
