Ik I just posted and I need to do school, but...
I get it now
I really get it now.
I understand.
I will be rereading all four Dune books. I'm reading Dune right now and will start Messiah after that.
I flipped open Children of Dune to one moment with the right song playing. I widened my eyes and the camera did some funky stuff as I said "I get it now."
Then I started shrieking "I UNDERSTAND YOU NOW, PAUL! PAAAAUUUUUUULLLLLL!!!!!!!!"

I want Part 2 so bad...
I need to read Messiah again because I don't think I got it the first time.
And (CoD spoilers)
SpoilerPaul's arc in this book felt weird to me because it felt like it was undermining his "I just want to vanish into the desert and die" decision in Messiah.
But you just illustrated that it's much deeper than that so I need to reanalyze.
I couldn't get through God Emperor. I barely hit one fourth, if even that. It was just...boring. And weird. And it didn't have that same Dune feel to it, if you get my drift...

Yeah, 4 is trying to go into the big things happening later in the series. I thought the first part was awesome, if a little different. But then that last like hundred pages was nasty imo.
Messiah is sooooo goooooood!
SpoilerYeah, I get that. That's how it was the first time and the second time I read it.
It makes more sense when you put it together with a lot of thought and comparisons, especially when you see that he was deliberately saying know to what Leto was doing in GoD.
