Finished off Dune Messiah, has its moments, the themes of power are interesting, but nothing too special. There’s a noir element in this too, but in terms of plot mechanics it kinda gets lost. Frank Herbert really knows how to build to a climax in both books, and loves an abrupt ending right after. Though this ending wasn’t as bizarre are Dune.
Spoiled Children of Dune and just wiki’d the plot summary right after. Not sure if I’m going to regret that in the long run but I’m done committing to this series. It’s pretty much all downhill for Paul Atreides eh.
