"Children of Dune by Frank Herbert 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐
This was a very close DNF, if I hadn't been immersion reading I might have done so. Until about 60% of the book I was bored to tears with all the talk and politics. Finally after about 65% the plot finally starts to move and it's the only thing that saved this from a DNF to a 3 star because it was kinda worth the wait. "

"The final conclusion of the Atreides family from the original Dune. This novel introduces the twins of Paul and Chani telling the story of their struggle against their ancestry and the fear of prescience. In the end this book is the story of how Leto II began his pursuit of the golden path and became a god."

"Oh, I loved the mystery behind the Preacher. Unsure if he is who be says he is. Also how Alia's inner struggle mirrors that of the twins."
