With more than ten million copies sold, Frank Herbert's magnificent Dune books stand among the major achievements of the human imagination. In this, the fifth and most spectacular Dune book of all, the planet Arrakis--now called Rakis--is becoming desert again. The Lost Ones are returning home from the far reaches of space. The great sandworms are dying. And the children of Dune's children awaken from empire as from a dream, wielding the new power of a heresy called love...

Il m'a fallu du temps pour lire en entier ce cinquième volet de la monumentale saga Dune de Frank Herbert. Je crois que j'avais déjà essayé de le lire deux fois, sans parvenir à le terminer. Je ne sais pas trop pourquoi j'avais renoncé car cette troisième tentative m'a donné le sentiment de lire un récit bien construit et passionnant, moins complexe à aborder que le quatrième volet, L'Empereur-Dieu de Dune. Tout n'est pas toujours très clair, mais les personnages et le récit m'ont vraiment plu. Il ne me reste plus qu'à lire le sixième volet de la saga originale avant d'envisager lire ou relire les romans publiés ensuite par le fils de Frank Herbert.
Intre Children of Dune si God Emperor of Dune, time gap.
Intre God Emperor of Dune si Heretics of Dune, timp gap.
Prima data m-a deranjat deoarece in fiecare carte apar personaje noi pe care le vedem doar in acea carte, dar ca sa dezvolti universul acesta, iti trebuie acesti ani lipsa. Herbert nu a dezamagit nici aici, iar la cum se termina cartea... phew, abia astept sa incep Chapterhouse: Dune.
Le début du livre est assez difficile à lire car on repart à nouveau presque de zéro. Nouveaux personnages, nouvelles factions, nouveau tout.
Mais une fois les choses mises en place, l'histoire est plaisante à lire même si elle appelle à une suite et qu'elle ne se suffit donc pas tout à fait à elle-même.

The beginning of the book is quite difficult to read because we start again almost from zero. New characters, new factions, new everything.
But once things are set in place, the story is fun to read even if it calls for a sequel and is therefore not quite self-sufficient.
I enjoy any of Herbert's Dune books, and this is no exception. The focus on the Bene Gesserit this book is a great follow up to God Emperor. Without spoiling anything, the main plot line on Rakis seems to lack in the importance of the overall story. Additionally, it seemed like Herbert got caught up in fleshing out the story that the last few chapters are full of the resolutions for each thread of the story. As a result, the pacing at the end suffered but not enough for me to enjoy the book. Characters are particularly great in this book. I already look forward to Chapterhouse.
