Loved it. I found the pacing was pretty much perfect. And I found the portrayal of Paul as the reluctant… hmm… protagonist (can’t quite bring myself to use the word “Hero”) to have been done very well. I didn’t love how it was left with Chani, but eh, and I found the wrap-up to be a bit … rushed. But I thought Denis did a wonderful job.
I also loved the depiction of Geidi Prime. It was nice to have a bit more context for that part of the story.
