I spent many months engrossed in the world of Dune and the two original trilogies, even after plowing through 1000 pages I need to get back into that immersive story.
Kevin and Brian continue that theme and do a faithful job of taking forwards the characters, situations and general feel of the original books, but ultimately I do think there is something missing, Brian is not his father but perhaps it wasn’t intending I was going to bring something more to the narrative. Actual resurrections of the original characters was an interesting move, I’m not sure whether it’s lazy or genius, but I’m less inclined to carry on with the sequel to this particular one. However, I still find fascination in this world and perhaps one day will return and I do see the various prequels calling out to me and I’m trying to collect the set as they appear on the Kindle deals of the day!
