Dune by Frank Herbert

adventurous mysterious reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

hard to overlook the mounting piles of orientalism crafted by Herbert, growing with each page turn. a beautiful and fright universe built out of fetishistic cultural malice, even if at times unintentional, is still developed harshly and pointedly.
