Negative Positive
Title: Was this a first draft?
Review: I'm a big fan of Dune and the other Dune Prequels. IMO this is the worst of them (I haven't read the Battle of Corrin yet). I only recommend this book to die hard Dune fans who won't be able to sleep at night knowing they've missed part of the ancient timeline. Even in that case, you could just, read the timeline in the appendix. This book repeats obvious information, over and over again. It spends WAY too much time re-hashing what the readers already know.
Is the review positive or negative?
