A prequel to the original Dune, telling how the Brotherhood of Evil evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident with Valya Harkonnen is from ‘Mentats of Dune’. The three books weave together the development of the Brotherhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctors.
So what is the “formula”?
I’ve read and watched a lot of fantasy and sci-fi movies in my life, and I think I can instantly recognize a winner, whether it’s The Fifth Element, The Lord of the Rings, Edge of Tomorrow, The Matrix, Game of Thrones, or 12 Monkeys. I’ve seen ALL the classics, too many to mention here. It just grabs you and you have to see more!
and so on
The plot and characters draw you in, there are delicious surprises, real feeling… I agree that some of the minor actors aren’t that good… and it’s unlikely that a SWORD MASTER would be so ridiculously young…
A great production in every way
but overall the series so far has been interesting, watchable and has a lot of enthusiasm. . The “prophecy” element is delightful and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
