I have finished reading God Emperor of Dune. It ended exactly as it must, but I’m still not certain what to think of it. So far it’s my least favorite book, mostly because of the homophobia.

My recommendation is to probably stop at book 2 or 3.

But I shall forge ahead anyway.

Ooh, and the gender essentialism; can't leave that out. I quit during the beginning the next book. It was the rant about how horrible liberals are. Not a leftist-socialist rant, mind you; definitely a right wing, libertarian rant, written at the height of the Reagan era.

That said, stopping at book 2 might be recommended, but stopping at book 3 would be weird. I didn't think I could have watched Leto become a worm and then been like, yeah I didn't want to see what he does with this.
