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.
Dune rules. Have u read past the first book? I still haven’t done any later ones
