4 stars

Sandworms of Dune concludes the entire Dune universe. At least chronologically, it is the final book in the series. It feels unlikely books will be written that occur later on in the universe, but you never know of course.

After Hunters of Dune, my expectations were fairly low, but I was wrong. This is a pretty solid ending to the series. I really enjoyed it and it does finally tie many of the loose ends of the previous book together. While Hunters of Dune was all over the place with random stuff, this book was much more focused.

Every Dune fan should read these final two books, even though the first book may be a bit of a struggle. This second book will be all worth it.

Kevin Anderson and Brian Herbert's second sequel to the Dune series expands upon Hunters of Dune in a relatively logical way. It is ultimately an entertaining book. However, the reliance on characters who have already had their time in the sun in addition to a generally lackluster plot form an overall okay book. Their attempt to develop a book that tied their prequel series with the original series left me saying "Huh?" far too many times. Ultimately, I prefer to think of the end of Chapterhouse: Dune as the true end of the series, and of Sandworms and Hunters as fan-fiction.
