A review by tmooremont
Dune by Frank Herbert
adventurous
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
I love a good sci fi book and Dune is one of those classics. I’m also a sucker for world building so Dune was perfect for that itch.
But as many others might have an issue with theres some misogyny (it was written by a dude in the 60s) and he loves making words up which is why there’s a glossary in the back.
Also he spends too much time on describing things that are so unimportant . Be prepared for lengthy pages about the sun and the weather.
Lady Jessica was my favorite character, in my head I saw her as a powerful and strong women against all these male characters. She had these great powers that were feared by many. I especially loved when she was able to change the water of life! But there were so many pages that felt so out of character where she suddenly seemed so weak and that Paul was the only one who could help her. Like cmon really.
