While the world-building is rich and heavy, I am getting the sense that there never needed to be a sequel... or dozens of terrible sequels, where [internet spoilers implied] happen. This is a "chosen one" tale that could have ended well... if left as is. I'm enjoying some stuff and disliking some. It probably helped to have seen the film first.

I'm awake near dawn because of pain and thus listening to the audiobook version of Dune to distract myself. It has a great cast voicing the characters, but I concede it's a bit disconcerting to hear my name spoken so many times in a row. Also, it's an odd shift when different people (with very different accents) switch characters, such as the Baron. Maybe I'll read the ebook (or a thrifted, battered paperback) next?
