With more than ten million copies sold, Frank Herbert's magnificent DUNE books stand among the major achievements of the imagination. The world has waited more than five years for this, the fourth, the greatest and the grandest DUNE book of all. Centuries have passed on Dune itself, and the planet is green with life. Leto, the son of Dune's savior, is still alive but far from human, and the fate of all humanity hangs on his awesome sacrifice.

Sheer disappointment cover to cover

2 étoiles

Aside from a handful of moments and dialogues that were somewhat intriguing, this entire novel was a major disappointment. Much of this is due to its relation to the Dune series. If this fourth book is an indication of what comes next, I would abandon reading the Dune series altogether.

I felt that this style and this storyline deviated from the previous books and all expectations so much that I wish it just wasn't in the series at all. Some have said that the book's defining moment is its ending. And as I approached it, I had a strong suspicion what would happen, and I was right. Not even its conclusion really made anything more worthwhile.

As this is my first time reading Dune I can't say this accurately but I will anyway: skip this book entirely.
