A lot going on. Alia is highly suspicious of Jessica! And we see how upset she is that she isn’t prescient. And that she wants Leto jr. to indulge in presence via spice overdose. Then what is ghani’s role?? SHADDAM JR...!!! The foreshadowing of killing the kids that look like the twins… Jessica is acting like a literal mother of god. I’m with Alia I think she is definitely back in bed with the bene gesseritt

The twins are interesting… a little creepy! They give more insight into how the “pre-born” shared experience thing works. Jessica returns!!! But for what… who is the “Preacher?”

9 years… stilgar is finally seeing that what Paul had done… what he possibly was victim to… has ravaged the universe. Fremen; tyrants. Why is Jessica coming back NOW?!?! What are her thoughts on Paul’s death??… I hate to say it... I miss Paul... I miss channi…

Paul escaped. He let Chani die. Why could he not see both his children. …maybe he wanted to do what his father couldn’t: setup your family for greatness. Or rather a happy life. Security, prosperity. He didn’t deserve a happy ending. But… I’m still heartbroken. Losing prescience… what was it all for. I’m stunned. From the baby vision, to Duncan fully returning & being with Alia… It’s all so much.

Bijaz…. NOOOO. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON OUR SIDE!!! BUT HE IS THE CATALYST DWARF. HAYT. DUNCAN. HARKONNEN!!!!! And then Alia tried to OD on melange!? WHAT IS SHE SEEING

Holy STONE BURNER. PAUL Is BLIND. Atomics???? BUT HE CAN STILL SEE. HE’S HIM BRO. LIKE HE CAN SEE BETTER NOW THAT’S HE’S BLIND. for real tho… chapter 18 was one of, if not my FAVORITE chapter so far. The way it almost gives you hope that the stone burner didn’t affect Paul as bad… brilliant. Love how everyone is reacting to him. Even Alia is scared. KORBA YOU TRAITOR. HOW DID THEY GET THE WORM. WHEN!

Alia doesnt seem the same future? or maybe, she saw it and is reacting/interpreting it differently?? veryyy interesting. Catalyst-dwarf Bijaz! Won’t lie, I had to look up a lot of names (within Kindle, no googling) to put everything together

Scytale is a sneaky fuck man. I like him tho. Fish guy annoying lol. But I wonder what Scytale is envisioning for the conspiracy. Something has changed, if even slightly. CHANNI PREGNANT LET’S GOOO. And Paul seeing through the Face Saber disguise, but going along with it because he wants to save Channi… *chefs kiss *

DO NOT LET PAUL IMPREGNATE ALIA. PLEASE. this Reverend Mother is a schemer! Also, Pal crib big as hell.

Where to start… this conspiracy going way too smooth. Seeing Paul basically call Genghis Khan and Hitler amateurs… honestly it worked; I don’t think I can look at Paul the same. Especially the laughing… Alia and Haytaho kissed… yuck?? But interesting, her character development has a duality to it. Also what was happening in chapter 11 lol. Great stuff but confusing as hell.
