I found the first 3/4 of this book to be a bit of a grind with all of the unclear (to me at any rate) veiled references of a plan as characters talked to themselves (or other memory). But the last 1/4 of the book or so really picked up the pace and ended… well I have to say. But the last three pages, the final section were incredibly cryptic! Who were those two people Duncan occasionally say in his dreams? Apparently real with some control. Like so many others who have read this book I really wish that Frank Herbert lived long enough to write his final 7th volume. I am going to read Brian and Kevin’s take on how this epic might have ended. On to Hunters of Dune. ( ) An incredible addition to the 2nd part of the unfinished trilogy set after the Tyrants demise. Heretics was compelling but padded and often times quite aimless. Chapterhouse takes Frank Herberts strength in writing deep and challenging ideas with compelling characters and an explosive, larger than life story. The best description of this book would be a slightly more action-packed God Emperor of Dune; my favorite of the 6. Overall, this was my first journey into Dune and its both unfortunate and fortunate introduction. Peering at Frank Herberts vision and blood seeping into his long spanning SF novels left unfinished, I could not be more happier. I first read the first book around 2020 following Messiah; then its ending left me speechless. Picking up 3 years later I picked up Children of Dune continued.. it painted a much larger and greater prospect that touched me deeply. Thank you. What a pointless slog of a story. "Dune" has been a part of my life since I was 5 or 6, and to see this part of it end like this is kind of... sad. Ah well. We all grow up. The constant references to sex magic (which we never actually see) were frustrating. People here and on Reddit call this the weird sex book, and it is, but it's all flash and no substance. The most graphic scenes we "see" are a furry/human orgy in the dark, vanilla shower sex, post-coital bed lounging, and the rape of a child, so that's... that. It also contains a ridiculous amount of rightwing griping about taxes and voting, about how ableism is cool, and also one of the weirdest instances of a Christian writing a group of Jews that was at turns stupid and incredibly offensive. We are not just Christians wearing yarmulkes, which is how Herbert writes them. It's also painfully obvious that although Herbert possibly seemed to grasp that he needed to write more women in this universe, he has no idea how women talk or interact with each other. And it's uncomfortable to read. None of the characters in this story are appealing. The narrative is miserable. The love "story" isn't compelling. It's a tired retread of the same characters in previous books, but worse. The "philosophy" and politics are pretty dumb. And somehow Herbert took one of my favorite artists - Vincent van Gogh - and made me dread every time his name was brought up. I will give Herbert this, though: he added furries to the story. That's kind of neat. He didn't go very far with it, but it's amusing that that's in there. Overall, this was a waste of time for a series that should have ended at least three books prior. People were writing better SF than this in the 80s (and Steven Brust had magic genetics, reincarnation, and past life stuff, too). And they're writing better now. As someone with a soft spot for all the "Dune" adaptations, I hope they never adapt this.
Chapterhouse: Dune is a worthy addition to this durable and deservedly popular series... Against all odds, the universe of Dune keeps getting richer in texture, more challenging in its moral dilemmas. The only way to appreciate Mr. Herbert's achievement is to start with the first book and work your way through, so that when one character says, ''I love you too much, Murbella. That's my Agony,'' you will get the full, shuddery import of that capital A. Prix et récompensesDistinctions
Dans des mondes futurs, Atr©♭ides et Arkonens se disputent l'exploitation de l'©♭pice sur Dune, plan©·te hostile peupl©♭e de Fremens et d'immenses vers attir©♭s par les impulsions des moissonneuses. Alors que les cruels Arkonnens complotent avec l'empereur, Paul Atr©♭ides, le fils du duc Leto, semble ©®tre le messie attendu par les Fremens. Dune est d©♭truite, vitrifi©♭e, atomis©♭e. Avec ses habitants, ses temples et ses palais. Avec ses vers g©♭ants qui produisent l'©pice. Sur tout le vieil Empire d©♭ferlent les hordes furieuses des Honor©♭es Matriarches, massacrant tout sur leur passage. Les plan©·tes tombent l'une apr©·s l'autre. Seul le Bene Gesserit, derni©·re force encore debout, peut encore s'opposer © elles. Mais pour cela, il ne faut pas que la Plan©·te du Chapitre, o©£ le d©♭sert se propage d©♭j© pour recr©♭er un ©♭cosyst©·me aux vers de sable et produire de nouveau de l'©pice, soit d©♭couverte. Darwi Odrade, la M©·re Sup©♭rieure, a ©♭galement un autre atout dans sa manche: Miles Teg, l'enfant ghola, issu d'un c©♭l©·bre guerrier mais dont l' ©veil s'annonce d©♭licat...
