Great story

Thrilling. Herbert’s final chapter in his Dune Chronicles proves his masterful knowledge of our face-dancing race and his bewitching command of our intrinsic patterns: by his zen acceptance of how we were, are, and may, perhaps, always be.

herbert finishes with a comedy

while not openly humorous, much like the wiles of the bene gesserit, it is very subtle, and close attention to the dialogue will have one chuckling.

requires a moderate religious appreciation, but truly a gem if you have the tools. sad to have finished the series

A great continuation of the Duna Saga

Once again very high production on this Audiobook.
The story is left with so many threads dangling and being Frank Herbert's last book, we will never truly know where he intended on taking the story. I had stayed away from the next books as not being written by Frank Herbert (even though his son was involved in their writing) they feel like fan fiction.
but after going through this story again this time as an audiobook I will continue the story to 'Hunters of Dune' to see where the story goes.

Appaling example how to ruin a great book

of the hundreds of audiobooks I've listened, this is by far the worst. Three narrators for all the same characters, making magnanimous stoic figures in one scene to appear completely unhinged children showing tantrums in the next because of different narrator. Some dialogues between characters voiced exactly the same as their own train of thought making it impossible to understand what had been said out aloud and by whom, making it seem like a monologue without any sense.

another great addition to the dune saga

Another great contribution to the Dune universe. having multiple narrators wasn't bad in itself. The issue was when different narrators pronounced words differently. That was a little annoying. otherwise, a great listen!

A character's name changed periodically

this was a great conclusion to the Dune series, but did anyone listen back to it before publication? There was a character named "Sytail" (the correct name) whose name changed periodically to "Skytail" it seemed to be 2 particular readers who made this mistake. Otherwise an excellent performance.

wonderful writing.

A must read for any fan of good literature. The Political insights into Power and Government alone are worth the read.

The story continues

Another leap forward in time and we’ve more Dune action. This time round the political intrigue is back, there’s also some broader scale action. There’s also a larger focus on governance and political philosophy. The writing is solid as always, but I didn’t find the story as engaging as the first three books in the series.

The narration is back to being inconsistent, with multiple narrators. None of it is bad on its own, it’s just their inconsistent use that bugs me.

It’s not a bad book, but it didn’t engage me as much as the first three Dune titles.

i am very smart, i know what you are thinking

This book is just that, time and time again. "Aha! I have the perfect plan as long as no one realises" "I know their plan, are they stupid" etc etc.
