Cute little mystery book! Can't say I didn't enjoy it and I did find myself very enthused at the direction in which the book entertains and frightens you with how the murders operate and such.

It’s really hard to appreciate in full unless you are a curious scholar of Kafka. But he does write with elegance and when the lines work, they do. Just as it does when the last letter appears and the story of a relationship in letters ends on a bittersweet one.

Not since Raymond Carver's "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" have I felt a surge inside of me after reading a collection of short stories. With SWWLYAYDG it is an intensely curated mishmash of stories built to rollercoaster your feelings in ways unimaginable. The type where you can't binge this in one go because every single story is made to hit you somewhere. It could be about firm lawyers, or bizarre wedding rituals, or scientists walking into doors, but the feelings are just the same.
It's a considerable flex that Raphael Bob-Waksberg can write prose like this that stands quite differently (or complimentary) to his work on Bojack Horseman. A clear display of talent and finesse at work.

The most majestic thing about the Dune series is how despite its cyclical conquests for power, deceit, and survival, the world Frank Herbert crafted is nothing short of spectacular. By Chapterhouse, the stakes are set while the worlds feel more immense with each page. Admittedly, it revels in the same boredoms that strike Heretics down but even in how it focuses and finishes chapters there is a lingering intrigue with each one.
Which, of course, concludes in one of the more unfortunate cliffhangers of the saga. Whether it could be definitively said where the book would go or not, Chapterhouse still ends on a high note and a deservedly choice one to end Frank Herbert's saga on.
