But why not? Who doesn't love a giant worn talking around the fact that he's created a fascist dictatorship for some vague promise that'll it all pay off one day? /s
It's 500 pages of exposition and little story?
Oh! Did you not know and were speculating? The movies will only cover the first two books. The third book is when stuff starts to get... odd.
But the fourth book is mostly talking with an action set piece at the beginning and the end. I didn't read the next book
No Im in my 50s and Im spacing whether it's the fourth or fifth book that is mostly Leto engaging in exposition.
If ypu missed the last book you missed "Jews in Space" before Mel Brooks thought of it.
The fourth book, God Emperor of Dune, is the exposition book with Leto II (the III?)
