Title: Weak book
Review: This book is a very weak piece of writing. The characters are one dimensional and never surprise. The plot is plodding and the chapters far to short to build up any sort of momentum. Its rare that the writers move from one place to another in a chapter so they all appear as set pieces with a beginning, middle and end.While I did not expect this to be Frank Herbert the 3 prequels were much better written and characterised than this. Looking back I wonder how much of that was just taking strong existing characters in new directions.In short I do not recommend this book to anyone other than an existing fan and only then to fill in some gaps. Needs a lot more work to make this thread live up to its heritage.
Is the review positive or negative?
