On a second readthrough, I only came to love it even more. I caught on to so many things I completely missed the first time around. Definitely has solidified itself as one of my top five favorite books of all time.

All jokes aside, I wasn't expecting to cry while reading this book but dang, it got me in my feels. I was familiar enough with the plot due to seeing so many versions of it, including the most recent adaption, and while the adaptions are quite faithful, there was nuance that was omitted and I appreciated the journey of reading this to find those little bits.

+ I enjoy the thoroughness of Herbert’s world building, including the appendices that build on background stuff.
