I kind of hate reading about his 'birth'. I mean people of character need to have a difficult childhood, but that doesn't make it easy to witness. So well written though. Love reading. When I don't hate reading.

Dune if Paul had a prick of a little brother, his dad was Baron Harkonnen (but good looking) and they mine uranium instead of spice.

the description and flash forward of bassander lin - the phoenix WOW. can’t wait to meet him in the future books “my last friend, my enemy.” knight, captain, traitor - he would be all of those things, but not yet wowwww yes can’t wait!!

demarchy = democracy? easier to contextualise it in that way, and valka is tavrosi

I wonder why Cat can’t leave the planet?🤔

So far I am engulfed! ☺️ I love the perspective that a wealthy boy/man has fallen on hard times and is discovering the side of poverty that he otherwise may have annoyed.

something just isn't clicking for me with this... The Dune parallels or inspiration maybe(??), are very overt, but the MC is kind of insufferable and boring. I'm not all that compelled by his journey, I'm finding myself just putting this down and not feeling all that excited to pick it back up. I'll keep plowing through but I'm glad I didn't splurge and buy more entries in this series.
