Boring and confusing. I frankly couldn’t wait to get to the end, no longer ingesting and understanding the events that were unfolding, but feeding myself words like gruel.
The author fails to recognise that, while it may not be “proper”, he must remind and re-explain the figures and institutions involved. I lost track a number of the countless individuals and their respective views and policies. I sometimes found this (mass market paperback) impenetrably confusing.

Absolutely brilliant. Thrilling. Sad. Romantic.

Speaking as someone who doesn’t read a lot of fantasy but for whom the first Dune awoke something, I didn’t find Messiah as engaging or succinct, though it did take me back to a place I didn’t think I would ever return to. I’m glad I was able to experience the sequel.
