4.0

The second novel in the dune series picked up much faster than the first, but still exposed the reader to even more of the world and its lore. The pacing worked very well alongside the vision driven plot lines. I felt as though I was guessing the entire time what future Paul was seeking throughout the novel. I did feel as though the big bad in this novel wasn’t as enjoyable as the first, nothing beats a sinister Harkonnen. I highly recommend  reading these books in order.
