Herbert seems to be settling into the 80s but his mind and work are still riddled with peculiarity - in the span of just a few chapters there's a dig at C-3PO (this came out just a year after Return of the Jedi and he was still pretty steamed about being ripped off I guess) followed by Duncan getting his penis shaved and then the reveal of the hypnobong. Glad I stuck it out for these last couple of books

Not necessarily losing me, it's just radically Not the last few books. Much closer to the original Dune but a lot of that is establishing an entirely new cast of characters... and a teenage Duncan Idaho, haha. I can feel Herbert running out of ideas, but I trust there's a reason people stick it out for the original six. If I wasn't already planning on skipping the Brian & Kevin novels I am now
