A review by fabulousfunk
Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert
3.75
"Dune Messiah" takes what worked with it's predecessor: concepts and beyond creativity, and infuses it with a melancholic dread that forbids all of the novel. Almost as if an epilogue, "Messiah" chronicles a more personal journey with Paul and surrounding characters and serves a more well-rounded, emotional experience as compared to "Dune."
Despite this, Herbert often waxes philosophical in a manner that bores and frequently these grandiose concepts are overshadowed by political and religious movements that don't strike me as seminal, but not particularly engaging. And still, Herbert's characters often fall flat and lack the depth I wish they had.
