Dzieci Diuny

It took me several tries to start and re-start this book because life just got in the way and I know I'd forgotten some characters and plot points after a while, so I'd just re-start a month later or something. I only took about a month to read it this time, which is long for me, but life is still in the way. But it was close enough that I could remember much of the story as things went along.

I'd heard enough about the Dune universe to know that Leto II was gonna make a significant change to become the God Emperor later on, and this book does a slow build in revealing how that path was coming. I'm still unclear on a few things, but this series is captivating enough and the characters so fleshed out that I'll re-tackle it after I finish this first run through of the original 6 books. I think it boils down to the ecology Frank Herbert spends so much time with, to make it make sense in this very distant, crazy universe of his.

I'm maybe 90% sure I got the gist of what I'd learned (again, too distracted for focus, damned ADHD), but the major threads and events made sense, so I'm prepared enough for the next book. I'll rate the book later when I've had a chance to revisit.
