Reading the Dune series means embarking on an odyssey. Frank narrates what feels like a living-breathing history on an empire that rises, falls, and rages like a hurricane. Children of Dune will break your heart, confound your previously committed beliefs, and threaten the air in your lungs at the edge of every climax. A provocative and terrible tale of supposed fate, and the inescapable pull of power. I'm a little wounded having finished this.
