A lot of the people think that the last two were worse than the ones before, but personally I don’t see the problem with them. Heretics is probably my favorite Dune book, with chapterhouse and god-emperor as close seconds. Anybody else have thoughts?

    The first book has by far the most conventional plot. In many ways it has the shape of a heroic journey which is conventionally digestible alongside all of the quirks of the Dune universe.

    The follow up books discuss why putting all of your hopes into a heroic leader is a terrible idea. Paul is considered a failure by the books, and his son’s journey to being a leader and what exactly he means to accomplish gets weird. (In a dense and to many, highly enjoyable way).
