![]() Again, the main narrator is good, but it would have been nicer to have either different voice actors used for specific characters all the time, or not at all. The narration is, just as the first book, inconsistent. I am well aware that consideration of the degradation of blind faith and fanaticism is a core aspect of the series, but I don’t find the exploration of the topic particularly compelling in this instance. The characters in the Dune series are not just flawed, if they don’t lack empathy they instead exhibit “by hurting you I’m helping you” tendencies to a disturbing level. Although the character’s and their development is interesting, I will caution that I find none of them particularly likeable. A well-constructed narrative, it avoids the pacing problems I had with Dune and presents an engaging story of political intrigue. ![]() ![]() The writing of Dune Messiah is, in my opinion, much more consistent than the first instalment of the series. ![]()
