Dune Messiah

Interesting sequel to "Dune". It's much more political than war drama, picking up 12 years after its predecessor.

I enjoyed the contrast to the adventure and fighting in the last one (It certainly subverts expectations!), and I'm interested in seeing where this story heads next.

I know this is a very old saga; regardless I was not expecting it to be this engaging

There are definitely a few 🚩s along the way, but those can easily be attributed to the time when the books were written

The way Paul walks between destiny/fate and desire to break the chains is very well defined.

I'm glad this book was short, because I found it a bit of a slog. Much moreso than the first book in the series. For a short book it seemed to move at a snail's pace, though looking back quite a bit happened.
