This sequel is more like a tv show follow-up to a movie… a tv show shot with just 2 cameras and mostly of just people talking in rooms. None of the sci-fantasy epic sweeping desert and space that I would expect from the Duniverse. That said, Herbert can turn a phrase.
Probably should not have listened to the Audiobook. The different narrators makes no sense. Things started to flow past me... and since the story takes some surprising turns I got lost a couple times.

This book is amazing. I listened to it after listening to Dickens's Christmas Carol (which was excellent) and the first two books in the Bartimaeus Trilogy (which are enjoyable). This was like the perfect mix. The imagination of Stroud with the writing skill of Dickens. It also reminds one of Neil Gaiman's American Gods. Brilliant. I will certainly pick up an illustrated copy and read it in the years to come.
