Bardzo fajna kolekcja, jestem po wrażeniem. Szczególnie podobało mi się opowiadanie "Dotknąć ciemności", ale wszystkie były orginalne i ciekawe.

Bardzo ciekawy koncept i piękna historia rodzinna, ale książka zdecydowanie zyskałaby z jeszcze jednej rundy edycji.

I was do proud if myself when I figured out Red's plan just as she was forming it, haha. Such a brilliant book, the format and the story, the worldbuilding. Loved it

Four books in and I think I finally know what my problem with Dune/Herbert's writing is - his ideas were simple way to grand for his, or anyone's really, literary tallent. I still don't get the whole golden path thing and maybe I never will, but this understanding lets me actually enjoy the books!

My favorite Dune book so far but I think it wasn't the best idea to read it as an audiobook. Either that or I'm too stupid for Herbert's convoluted ideas lol

I wish I could say Paul is a well written villain but I usually have at least a little sympathy for them, which I just cannot find in myself here, so idk. Also # Chani deserves better 2k24.

A re-read. I did realise I actually liked Paul when I was younger and it's a relief I no longer do :')
