I just finished reading Children of Dune last night, which means I get to read God Emperor of Dune now which everyone says is good but wow Dune Messiah and Children of Dune are such a drop in quality aren't they? Like Messiah feels like a first draft the entire time, and while the tone of Children matches the first Dune, Herbert's attempt to reintroduce the wide scope of characters and stories it just doesn't really hit in that narrative does it? Anyway - rugba leeg.
