A So-So when compared to Frank Herbert‘s writing but as a book I enjoyed reading objectively, it‘s an entertaining, pulpy Pick. I‘d never try and convince a purist that these Brian Herbert/Anderson books are worthy of your attention or that they stand shoulder to shoulder with the originals, especially as they seem to be taking some liberties with the canon, so I‘m just doing what Litsy facilitates well and logging this read
Bookwomble I read one book my Herbert jr. and that was enough for me🫤 1mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble I think that‘s the general consensus 1mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja As you said, it is ok as pulp space opera, but Dune is more than that, and deserves a better legacy. I've no probs with the existence of the expanded Duniverse, I just want no part of it! 😤😁 1mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble Well, the next 4 books are all Frank‘s then a final two written by Junior and his mate. It‘s a way off, but when I get to 6 I‘ll decide if I want to see how the hacks tie up the loose ends. However, I‘m a bit dubious of this “based on Frank Herbert‘s notes” story if I‘m honest. 1mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja There is no end to Dune, I think, so did it really need "finishing off"? I'm probably being precious about it! ? 1mo
