I don't know what to say anymore. Everything is upside down in my head now. I had been thinking of Hwi Noree as some sort of ingénue, a delicate and pure young woman, but I seem to have underestimated her.
She abruptly offers herself to (the latest) Duncan Idaho, for some reason I cannot fully understand (some last-minute romance Herbert introduced to the novel).
(What about the rebels? What happened to them?)

I have realized that it might be necessary for me to read this book twice, in order to understand it better. Hwi Noree and Leto's intention of marrying her were quite a surprise.

This is different from what I expected when I started to read it. Leto presents some interesting (and sometimes obscure) philosophical ideas here. An intriguing character so far, with opposing qualities. I will definitely keep reading!
