It’s fine, possibly better than part 1. It felt less disjointed and more engaging (although that could have been just me getting used to the writing style finally).

It was entertaining at least! I hated it at first having just finished chapterhouse, but I think I just got used to the new writing after a while. By no means would I call it good literature, but it was fun to read. A shame Frank Herbert couldn’t have written it instead.

I don’t know what to say except that Rebecca is the truest inspiration that I’ve had the pleasure of beholding in literature for quite some time. What an exciting, witty, and bittersweet journey!
