A review by amarie101
House Harkonnen by Kevin J. Anderson, Brian Herbert
2.0
I liked this book A LOT better than House Atreides. Events slowly start to pick up and (thankfully) many years pass in this book, unlike the first book which only had a few years pass. Sure, I had my problems with it but it still kept me interested to see the characters grow up and finally mature. I really enjoyed Liet's tale on Dune. Although, it was obvious from the first description, who Chani's mother would be with the repeated usage of "elfin" annoyed me.
The only perspective lacking was there wasn't enough of the Corrinos in this one, there were a few but I was hoping to get more of Shaddam's ploting and personal character. And finally Jessica arrives! I was happy to have her finally have her in House Atreides. This book isn't Dune, but it is a nice companion piece if you are a fan and enjoy the many cast of characters.
