good example of a sequel that builds on previous entries while taking it in a wholly different and unique direction. honestly the best place it could have gone given the last three's uninterrupted focus on the same cast and timeline. it's weird and unique enough that you treat it like its own story, not as Dune Part 4.

but also lmao the gender politics and general political philosophy of this one. I looked it up afterwards and got a confirmation on what i had suspected earlier - Frank Herbie was a libertarian lol, big fan of Ronald Reagan too.
