Attempting to embrace Leto II with open arms as the one I knew and loved from Children of Dune (that last chapter in CoD was weird as fuck though) has been.. difficult. I know that living for over 3.5k years can really take its toll on someone, but wow. I am grateful that Paul himself didn’t take this path. The poem about Ghanima was very sweet, though.

The epilogue of A Million Little Pieces did spoil the climax of the novel (Leonard dies) but uh.. I guess “the journey is more important than the destination” would apply here. Very good read so far.

Putting this one on hiatus for now. The story is shifting focus from the pandemic to the background of some of the characters in the group, who I don't particularly care for. And the comic book bit is an odd gimmick to me.

Starting to get a bit antsy. The pandemic occurred very early on in the story; the first few chapters were a bit of a roller-coaster. Now it's just talking and reminiscing and blah, and I must have thought "That seems important, I'm sure it'll be explained later." at least 10 times by now. Hoping it picks up the pace again soon.

I'll admit I'm not enjoying the theater aspect of the story as much as I had hoped I would, but the medical aspect (pandemic) is enough to keep me hooked.

I'll admit, for a little while I was a bit bored and wondered when things would pick back up. Thankfully, things got REALLY exciting in Parts 5 & 6. I've been reading for most of the night. Almost finished.
