Dune: the Butlerian Jihad is my first foray into the Duneverse and I'm genuinely excited to see how the story looks from this vantage point. I know the general impression of the prequel series is less than favorable but I've actually enjoyed the deep dive and character development

I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this prequel series. Its is NOT as engaging as the OG series of Dune. But it does provide some insight to how humans and thinking machines fought/ destroyed each other. The one thing I kept getting stuck on was lack of empathy on all sides. The robots were horrific, the humans were also terrible to their own kind, and then the Cymex (cimex? the human brains piloting the mech suits) where the most horrible of all. No one was empathetic to anyone else. Part of me wanted no one to win... I guess needless to say it wasn't a very redeeming look at humanity. I gave it 3 stars cuz, its written fine, and did keep me interested for 23 hours. That counts for something.
