I love it. His descriptions are always in service of memorable imagery sparking from the least amount of words possible (each character is given one or two physical traits, and that’s it) and tension, as opposed to beauty or intellectual complexity for their own sake, or exposition with no drama. He knows his craft. Or I like his style. Take your pick lol
Last night I was at the scene in which the main character (the potential Muab Dib or whatever) is talking to his father about the arrival to Arrakis, the dangers involved, the strategies to mitigate them, and the spice’s broader political context. That’s 8% of the 3 books, so yeah, still a while from the end of the 1st one.
It one of my fav sci fi books of all time, the storytelling, the political plotline, the islam influenced religious storyline and its psychedelic undertones, paul and jessica’s transformations, the class struggle and fight for control of the planet between the indigenous fremen and the imperium, the ecology focus… there’s so much to love.
Dune rules. Have u read past the first book? I still haven’t done any later ones
