| | Leto Atreides, a likeable and tragic character who anchors the better portions of the book, is the star of a tense standoff late in the story where a split-second decision puts the fate of House Atreides in the balance and forever separates the boy from the man. | | | The sole heir of that House's grandeur is now a fugitive, living in exile among tough, steadfast companions who vow to help avenge the injustice visited upon him. | | | But what could have been a charming homage is, instead, a muddled mess, as though the authors couldn't wait to get on to another part of the novel. |

| | The underlying deepness of most books in the series never ceases to amaze me. While "House Atreides" is a nice read and does a decent job at filling in some of the gaps in the original series, it fails to capture that mysterious deepness of the originals. | | | Many of the plots and characters appear glaringly shallow when compared to the originals. | | | I read the original Dune series several times in my younger years and even now and then I pick a random book from the series. |
