Much better than the second one, but not on par with the first. It concludes the story arc of Paul Atreides and the saga moves on...

I rate it right up there with Dune. Can't wait to eat up the next three.

The Preacher must preach against his own religion. Power must fight the over-extension of itself. Perpetual adaption to the fluidity of reality is essential to survival. My Skin is not my Own. This is the 3rd book in Frank Herbert's Dune series. I have not been disappointed by one of them. In fact, Herbert has only succeeded in unifying and substantiating his creation in the expansion of it. For me to set forth upon an enumerative voyage into the nuances of only this single book of Dune would be exhausting. The proverbs and quotes at the beginning of each chapter are simply brilliant. I was shocked at several occurrences within the story. First, the manner of manifestation of Alia's Abomination. The Golden Path of Leto II blew me away. Shai Hulud! I was also shocked at the death of 3 characters. Yet, as the Ghola Duncan Idaho showed us, we cannot be certain of the finality of death. It was a bit disturbing to witness how instantaneous was the transformation that power brought upon Leto II. From a 9 year old boy, lost and alone in the desert, facing certain death, to a god. As Leto reveals to Farad'n Corrino, he has not escaped Abomination himself. We can never escape the path that our ancestors have set us upon. We simply maneuver within it, searching for the Golden Way through. As did Jessica, so I found Farad'n Corrino a likable character, much unlike his grandfather Shaddam IV. His interests in history are honorable and his fate as Royal Scribe was quite fitting—though how long will he be caged, I know not. I noted with curiosity that his father was related to Count Hasimir Fenring. Very much looking forward to God Emperor of Dune. Arrakis awaits.

Nothing seemed consistent about this book. Which is why some people enjoyed it more than me. Recommending to those who enjoyed the other books in the series.

A lot of anthology and a very heavy universe-creation exercise product make this book a very heavy read. It's still more eventful and character rich than the next book, which is the only reason I'm willing to put half a star more.

Children of Dune was another great work from the man Frank, but I stil remain more struck by Dune. Dune exploded my imagination, and gave birth to my pen. I owe a lot to Him.
