The story just gets stranger and stranger. I think I'm done reading the Dune series now lol
Herbert's notoriously weak prose is really grating here because Children of Dune lacks the same propulsive action-adventure of the first two Dune books. The grand scale of the Dune universe is still here, but it is ultimately a slog to get through, in large part due to the uninteresting mystery surrounding the central characters
