Really enjoyed the movies and heard the books had all of that and more. It did!
I tend to stray away from grand-sweeping narratives, sticking with more personal and small scale stories, but this has shown me that it’s so good.
It is 90% world building and politics; but really interesting world building and politics.
Anyway, I’ll be checking out more stuff in the future with the same level of scale, I feel. It’s a nice change of pace.

SOLIDO. Política, traiciones, corrupción, imperialismo, inyeccion de fe como metodo de control y el levantamiento de un pueblo relegado bajo el estandarte de este mito religioso. Juega con la tension constante entre la revlucion y el inexorable caos que esta trae.
El accionar ante la injusticia para mejorar las vidas de descendientes que nunca vas a conocer.
Un terreno hostil crea a los guerreros mas fuertes. LISAN AL GAIB

Any book that can rivet you one week flat reading you deep into the early morning til 4am is a bloody good book. Before Aidan Pryde, before Luke Skywalker, before Ender Wiggin, before Ash Ketchum and Pikachu; before Ned Stark or Robb, before Daenaerys or Jon Snow even - there was Paul Atreides, progenitor of so many of our modern (Western) pop-culture myths. Three cheers to Muad'Dib, Shai-Hulud willing!

So creative and cool and so many interesting parallels. It was nice that this did not feel likes straightforward good vs evil fantasy and the storyline is both complex and held together well. I did struggle a bit towards the end and I think the difficulty was in no longer feeling connected to the main characters… I think, in some way, they are meant to become more godlike and otherworldly but it did make it hard to feel a sense of closure.
