ok ok, criticisms of the website aside, I'm reading the Dune novels at the moment and I'm totally enraptured by the story and the world. I completely welcome another re-imagining of the world its really great seeing how the characters are portrayed, and another RTS is very welcome in the market, in my opinion.
- mFixman 5y agoEhh... I started reading the Dune novels after loving the movies, and they have honestly have been disappointing. Some parts of the first book dealing with environmentalism are great, but the rest is kinda meh. My main problem is that the Dune Universe seems too small: almost all important events in the Universe happen to the same couple of main characters, and almost everything that happens to them is very important to the Universe. There's a part in Dune Messiah when someone mentions a certain event happens to a very large number of people; they could have made that number 100x larger or 100x smaller and the result would be exactly the same. I read that God Emperor is good, so I'm trying to decide whether to start the third book or just cut my losses and abandon the series.
- IHLayman 5y agoBoth Children and God Emperor completely change the ideas of the narrative, and grow far larger than the first two books. They are definitely worth reading. The last two (four if you count Brian Herbert’s extensions) are of diminishing worth, even though Miles Teg is amazing and carries the novels alone.
