Yeah this is where I tap out of the Dune books. It’s even weirder than the last one - and not in a good way. There were some interesting ideas here, but I don’t know if it was worth wading through the book. It’s just so much of Leto talking his philosophy at people. Some of the philosophy is interesting but some of it is just a rambling mess. And some of the discussion about the role of women and sexuality is not great (e.g., all soldiers are homosexuals at heart).
