I know and have read comments on various different sites about how much fans hate these novels. I want to know if there’s anyone out there that actually likes them?
I have the Legends series along with the two sequels after Chapter House. I’m currently on Heretics and also decided to start the Butlerian Jihad. I’m a few chapters into that one as well and can definitely tell a difference in writing style, but don’t think it’s that bad so far. I’m trying to go into it optimistically and while I know there’s a lot of contradictions from Franks original work, Dune is by far my most favorite universe out there. So regardless I’m interested in whatever lore is out there that can dive me deeper into it.
Does anyone actually enjoy the BH novels in their own right when not compared to the original six?
The Legends of Dune trilogy was a weird one for me. The overall plot was decent, and some chapters and characters were intriguing. But there was so much fluff and annoying duplication in there. I assume the decent wiring and plot points came from Anderson, but maybe that’s unfair on Brian Herbert.
