I feel like I have to re-read the entire series to even be able to mildly understand anything that happened in this book.

PLEASE LET IT BE GURNEY. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I want Gurney back!!! There's no way it couldn't be Gurney!! There's a reason why Herbert told us about the smuggler name for Jacurutu!!

The scene of Alia and Jessica in the great hall (where Paul fought Feyd Rautha!!!) was AMAZING. The Fedaykin Fremen aligning himself with Jessica was giving me Dune and Dune Messiah vibes again, I was sooo happy. This is definitely the 'triggering event' and the plot will start to roll, I can't imagine 'Jacurutu' being a real place though. I feel like it might be more of a mental thing?

A few passages that made me think, really enjoying annotating with a pen and highlighter but not enough space in the margins for me to write, LOL. Anyways, I'm sus-ing The Preacher because when he did the "Silence" and his short speech, it really reminded me of Paul and it seems like he's speaking from a place of guilt, regret, and some self-hatred because he is seeing what he's done to the Fremen.
