This was an absolutely underrated book. It is very politics-heavy, therefore can be hard to follow, but if you allow yourself to focus on the story as well as read between the lines, this book is fantastic. Dune and Dune Messiah are a fantastic pair, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
Graphic: War
Moderate: Death
Minor: Child death and Incest
The incest is only theorized, never explored. The main plot surrounds a war, but is not too descriptive about each battle, it’s just mentioned quite often.
