Editorial Review
The second title in the Dune chronicles explores new developments on the desert planet Arrakis, with its intricate social order and the strange, threatening environment — rife with the Tleilaxu, sandworms, and the Bene Gesserit reverend mothers.
Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah picks up twelve years from the first book and the story of the man known as Paul Muad'Dib Atreides, also known as Paul Atreides. He is the heir to the family’s dynasty of House Atreides, who rules over the Fremen, bringing to fruition an ideology once thought impossible: an old idea of creating a super-being who reigns not in the heavens but among men.
By accepting the role of messiah to the Fremen, Paul has unleashed a jihad that conquered most of the known universe. Paul is the most powerful emperor ever known but cannot stop the violence and monstrosities of the religious juggernaut he has created. Can Paul stop the jihad before all known universes get taken over?
Dune Messiah also features an ensemble cast of characters, including Alia, Paul Atreides’ sister, the ghola of the deceased Duncan Idaho (now known as Hayt), Bijaz a Tleilaxu servant, Princess Irulan, and twins Leto and Ghanima.
Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah and the Dune series is the ideal companion to other fantasy series, such as The Lord of the Rings, and can be enjoyed simultaneously as an audiobook. Before listening to the other entries in the Dune series, such as Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, and Heretics of Dune, listen to Frank Herbert’s thrilling second entry in the always entertaining Dune saga, Dune Messiah.

Different but good.
Not gonna lie, considering how much hyped the worms are when being recommended to this series, they dont seem to show up a lot? I enjoyed this book, but it spent too much time indoors, talking as opposed to... doing stuff?

Dune is Dune
A better presentation than the 1st book. It didn't feel as disjointed with voices jumping between narration and conversation. It seemed a smoother transition, chapter to chapter.

Good Follow Up to Dune
Its hard to follow up a classic like Dune, but Messiah does an adequate job. The quality of the storytelling remains high while Herbert continues to peel new political/religious philosophical layers.

Good but not as good as Dune
Story seemed rushed and didn’t flow well. Was a good book but Dune had set a high bar.

I like all the talking
I like this one more than the first one because I am more of a philosophy gal than an action gal. This is a biased opinion I suppose, but everything that happens here is so meaningful and holds up well with what the first book sets up.

Slow - strange full cast
This is really a bridge book between 1 and 3. It's fairly short which is nice because there isn't a terribly large amount of plot. Willing to read it to get on with the better books in the series later.
My issue is the narration. It's weird - full cast is awesome, and the individual narrators are great, but how it's laid out is curious. Each actor reads a whole chapter, meaning that their voices of each character are different and it's hard to keep track of who's talking. I think better would have been to have each actor read one or two voices consistently throughout the book.

From start to finish this is such a good and complete story. The narrators did such an amazing job and I couldn't imagine it a different way.
