    "This is not Dune, it is Dune Messiah."

    If you go into this expecting the grandness of the first installment then you will be sorely disappointed. Go into this book planning on it to expand the lore and story nothing more and in that you will be satisfied.

    The voice acting is at par but no where near the loveliness of the first book. Do not hope for all the characters to have a semi-uniqueness when the female narrator comes into play.

    Overall take this book for what it is, a sequel. Enjoy it as nothing more than a continuation and you will have no regrets.

    "Missed the story"

    Narrators were fantastic. the story was hard to follow as there were many missing gaps of what the plot was striving for. The ending did not sum up the whole story very well. It was hard to get through, but did enjoy hearing from the old characters again.

    "Just boring"

    Feels like a different book compared to the first one. The first two thirds of the book are just talking and what the talking meant and who noticed what in the conversation. Action picks up a little bit towards the end but the pacing is so frustratingly slow I really struggled to finish the book. I will not even bother trying the next one in the series.
    Another note about the voice acting - just jarring, sometimes characters have their own voice, sometimes it is just a single narrator. Brings you out of the already weak story.

    "I don't like multiple performers."

    I did not appreciate there being multiple performers for one book. It was confusing with the main characters changing voices several times during the book.
    Besides that, the story is good, and the individual performers are good.

    "Excellent performance, good story of intrigue"

    Again, the production value is excellent. the story is packed with lore and political intrigue. It's different from the first book, but not in a bad way.

    "Completely random voices for no apparrent reason."
    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    The book itself is good.


    Any additional comments?

    The multiple voices are a distraction that destroys immersion. Stillgar is not a pretentious english hoitytoity. wth

    "SciFi MASTERY"

    the sequel to the greatest science fiction novel ever written in my opinion. And it lives up. Political intrigue and depth of character makes the world of arrakis that much richer

    "Not so much quality"

    Story line was weak. Characters were not as well developed or used as in first book. Sound effects not as good. Overall, no contention for best of series.

    "Interesting....."

    I liked the intellect behind the words. Some new thoughts and vocabulary. Hard to follow at first; once one is accustomed to the flow it is easier to follow. Kind of like watching a societal game of chess by only focusing on the king and queen.
