Nice take. Dune Messiah is a strange book, and THB it put me off the entire franchise when I first read it in high school. A re-reading a few years ago only did a little to rehabilitate it. It's supposed to be brilliant, but I find it heavy handed and a subjectively tough read.

You have nailed the saga and Herbert's trippy brain with aplomb! Did not Herbert enjoy psychedelics while writing everything?
