All the greatness of Dune condensed into a shorter, more tense sequel. You can really feel the prescience here, you get to know exactly how emotionally painful it is for Paul and Alia to know everything and yet feel like it's not enough in this book. Really just a great book! deducting .25 simply because I'm not as big a fan of the Hayt-Duncan parts as I thought I'd be, and also that weird scene with Alia (you'll know exactly what I'm talking about)
