The climax of the Dune series didn't hold my attention as strongly as the previous installments but it was an interested read, nonetheless. We followed Narwi Ordade (Dar) as she was the new Mother Superior of the Bene Gesserit. Duncan and Murbella, his Honored Matre companion, are locked in a NO-ship and have had lots of children as she has been preparing to become a Bene Gesserit. Miles Teg has a ghola except it was born as a child. The Bene Gesserit are seeing their world quickly coming to an end and when the book leaves us we still have no certainty if their fates. Murbella assumes the titles of both Mother Superior and High Honored Matre. Duncan, Sheana, and Teg have fled in the no-ship. Who knows what will come of them.
Not unlike almost every Stephen King novel, this series was worth it for the journey, if not for the end.
Frank Herbert put a dedication in the back of this novel to his late wife. It was beautiful and made both my girlfriend and I well up with tears. He really has a way of pointing out the details that make the whole resonate.
