peace talks and Battlegrounds hype up was incredible but what we ended up getting to me felt underdeveloped and well it certainly was gargantuan the aftermath of what has occurred really hasn't been addressed in a way that I'm a big fan of

Loved

Frank Herbert also really improves his prose in my opinion and the full message and concept behind these families and the themes of the series really only become clear in my opinion once you get to books two three and four there is genius writing here and I love it

I'm actually not that big a fan of the first dune book I think it is good it's just the wild angles Frank Herbert went with in the sequels that for me as a reader who enjoys the weird really started to appreciate how poignant Dune is overall thematically and narratively

Loved

yes because of my enjoyment of the sequels I think I do appreciate the first dune book more but I am willing to throw down with any Dune fan any day that these sequels are what make the series iconic and special

Hyperion is the most beautifully written thing on this list each entry is varying degrees of extremely solid this is actually one of the few Sci-Fi series and in my opinion just doesn't have a weak entry or even just a good one they're all great

Loved

Kindred is a heart-wrenching story that is going to make you question so many different angles to your own belief systems when it comes to how someone is able to survive in a horrendous situation

Disliked

I straight up didn't really like the first red rising book I thought it felt like it was trying to be ambitious while the end result was so simplistic the only thing that really kept me interested in coming back was the characters

Disliked

while the law tried to do that the end result just felt very underwhelming to me as well as seeing many of the early elements for heavy criticism Dresden had as a series coming back into the law despite I feel like we as readers and a story had just grown Beyond those issues
