I’m hyped for this TBH.

IMO Dune is a 3 part story, where the first book is parts 1 and 2 and Messiah is part 3. Look at the book lengths and you’ll see what I mean, book 2 is obviously much shorter than the rest and a I kind of epilogue to the first book.

There are the other sequels, yes, with their own conversation about whether they’re worth reading. But in so many ways book 2 really finishes the story and idea of book 1 that I like to think of it as just part 3.

So that they’re doing a trilogy in the same way is awesome IMO!

    I bet they call it a holy war, or crusade, or conquest or something.

    I think they’ll steer clear of jihad.
