Dune Messiah

Chris J. Karr reviewed Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert

Thinky Sci-Fi

4 stars

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.

The series definitely keeps getting traction

5 stars

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.
