I'm a bit torn with some of the Dune prequels. I'm loving the back story and how it shows what eventually turns into the classes of humanity that we see in the original Dune series, but at the same time, the writing is simply not the same as Frank Herbert; I can't help but wondering what these might have been like had Frank Herbert wrote them himself. I've never been a fan of Brian Herbert, but I have enjoyed many books by Kevin J. Anderson.

Overall, if you like the Dune universe and you can't get enough of it then you will likely enjoy this Legends of Dune series. In fact, compared with the first Dune prequel trilogy, this one is much better. Because of my love for this universe I will continue to read more of these Dune books and will just have to accept the fact that they will never be quite up to the Frank Herbert standard.
