robotadam reads reviewed Children of Dune (Dune Chronicles, Book 3) by Frank Herbert (Dune (3))
A good weird boy
4 stars
An improvement over Messiah, but it suffers the same problem the first two books had: for all of the foreshadowing and interior monologues about the path ahead, the main actual surprise appears mostly out of nowhere. Still, the action is well done and the fantastic elements are inspiringly weird. I wish Alia’s characterization was better or the last book had led more towards the state in this book, but it was still a fun read.
