"These additional Dune books by Frank's son and fellow co-writer Anderson are like run-of-the-mill chocolate to many a premenstrual woman. That is, I can't help myself - even though I know that it will be mediocre at best. And their latest collaboration is just enough of a pot-boiler - or is that brain candy? - to lightly entertain me for a couple of days until I've sped through its easy-to-read four hundred pages that muses again on adage that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Despite that, dense writing this book is most certainly not.
While I admittedly enjoy indulging in returning to a fantastical world, characters, and universe that I first encountered and fell in love with back when I was the ripe old age of thirteen - a wonderful age to escape into science fiction, fantasy, and comic books - I do find that Brian and Kevin's second-string characters to be frequently stilted and less than two-dimensional. That is, they manage to not betray the main personalities and motives of the well-established characters - like Lady Jessica, the main character this time around. But the newer characters that they introduce into the series - who may or may not have been fleetingly referenced in Frank's original series - act and speak ludicrously. Take Rhombur Vernius, for one; childhood friend of Paul's who emerges as the counterpoint to Alia and her efforts to deify Paul in death. What could have been an even more powerful and fully-realized character is turned into a silly caricature. If Brian and Kevin didn't have him exclaim "Vermillion Hells!" half the time he speaks, then they would've been half-way in creating a more realistic character who, by novel's end, plays the pivotal role in setting up the course of the books that follow in this ever-expanding series.
Of course, you know that I'll be back for The Throne of Dune around this time next year. As well as any other Dune-related books that the two churn out on an almost yearly basis."
"Centering on Lady Jessica, and through her, Paul Maud-Dib; it paints a deeper portrait than previously seen. I love the new additions to Dune. And The Winds of Dune is yet another excellent addition the the Duniverse I love with all my heart. With each interquel, I get a better understand of the main characters and what drives them. I will never get enough of Dune. I hope it continues forever, as long as it stays interesting.
Perfect closing line: In time, all things came back to Dune. We can only hope...."
"As always, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson remain faithful while still innovative. An excellent sequel to "Dune Messiah" and another fine addition to my Herbert collection."
