Review of 'Chapterhouse: Dune (Dune Chronicles, #6)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
In the final book by Frank Herbert in the Dune saga, we follow the trials and tribulations of the Bene Gesserit. They are up against extinction by the Honored Matres. A faction returning from the Scattering with only one goal in mind: destruction.
Throughout the book we learn what motivates the different factions and the people in those factions. This all concludes in a big face-off between the two sisterhoods. And ends in a giant cliffhanger.
The style of this book is exactly the same as previous books. It has parts that tend to drag on just a little too long and a few pages later it has you turning pages as fast as possible.

It's a great continuation of the story, but it is most definitely not a conclusion. In fact, there's a lot of hinting at what could happen next, which kind of got on my nerves by the end of the book.
There's also Scytale which seems like a completely superfluous character with no real development throughout the book. Although he gets quite a number of pages in the book. I suppose this is a setup for later books which never got written (or maybe Brian Herbert did? I will need to find out)
This book will really get you interested in the Dune universe and where it's heading. It saddens me that there are only two books chronologically after this one and they are not by Frank Herbert himself.
