Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] fully satisfying conclusion (after Dune: House Atreides and Dune: House Harkonnen) to the authors' "House" trilogy....The inevitable derivative features aside, this is a good, steady, enjoyable tale, and readers who haven't read the first two books can easily follow the plot." ( Publishers Weekly)

"[T]his complex and compelling tale of dynastic intrigue and high drama adds a significant chapter to the classic Dune saga. Highly recommended." ( Library Journal)

Excellent book, probably the best out of Houses’ trilogy

I think the son grasped the style of his father, and clearly adapted his book to more modern times of its writing. I enjoyed all three of them. I combine reading with listening, and Scott Brick had a good reading performance managing to soften the American accent and pronouncing the proper names in the book, properly :)

Weak Ending to some very strong sequels

I liked the previous two books in the series quite a bit, and I enjoy how it pays service to the originals while standing alone as its own thing, but the plot had to wrap itself up for the sake of the original Dune book, and it didn't answer as many questions as I'd hoped

a very nicely set the stage for the original book

I may sound crazy for saying this but I don't think the book was long enough 123 chapters and we could have done a little better

Awesome climatic ending!

The narrator gave a perfect performance creating a seamless continuity to all of Dune books. Loved this trilogy, and now I am going to reread Dune book 1 because this trilogy was so good.

Very good lead in to the original masterpiece

The book manages to be suspenseful in many different story threads, even for those who have read the original novels. There were even some genuine surprises and great plot twists. The audio performance was well done, too.

amazing

as always, this series in amazing. I've been listening non stop at work and have yet to get burnt out

excellent!

Detail of pre-Dune storylines and character’s developments.

The continuity of storyline and the history of this epoch’s saga, following the ‘physics of the Dune Universe’ as created by Frank Hebert back when the initial installment, the birth of this beautiful giant conglomeration of giants, Dune.

Fun and interesting to read. Not overly complicated issues and twists, such that one cannot keep up, but plenty to keep one returning to the book and assuming the position at the edge of his or her seat. For different readers different dynamics of the book and storyline will call to them. For instance the undying loyalty of a Dune-obsessed fanatic will keep them permanently fixed to the edges of their seats as they are nervous and anxious about how the histories of the saga will unfold. Conversely, a newcomer to the tale might find themselves at the edge of their seat as they read of the atrocities committed by the Harkonnen after first reading of the Great Family’s exploits.

Excellent addition to this saga, do and will continue to recommend.
