And so Brian Herbert finishes off the story his father left unfinished in Chapterhouse: Dune. On the plus side, it ties together the prequel Legends of Dune series, although that’s also a bit of a downside. Would Herbert snr have approved? Are these his ideas, or the son’s?

Still. I suppose just having loose ends tied is enough, and you know going into this it’s not going to live up to the original series. Personally, I didn’t think it did too badly, really, and it was entertaining enough at least.
