I feel like the prequels don't fit with the rest of the series, which got weirder and weirder as they went further into the future timeline. The prequels, etc. kind of just got bland and pedestrian. But some of the characters were interesting and it wasn't a completely terrible read. Just not as good as what Frank Herbert would have done.
