I find Dune Messiah to be the weakest of all in the series. I really like CoD and GEoD particularly. I didn't like any of the prequels, even if seeing some of the Butlerian Jihad happen had a few interesting moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. The authors may have had Frank Herbert's outlines and historical details, but nothing like his writing ability. It's been decades since I read any of the Dune expanded series, but I recall the non-Frank Herbert novels seemed to suffer from the "One Great Person Invents Everything In the World, Then Nothing Changes For a Thousand Years" lazy writer syndrome.
