A review by the_weirdling
House Harkonnen by Kevin J. Anderson, Brian Herbert
3.0
I love the Dune universe and I am very happy for the work that Anderson and Herbert have put in to finishing the original series and adding to it. I think they’ve really managed to keep to the spirit of Frank Herbert’s original work, though their style differs somewhat. This entry is no exception. I’d rather have it than not have it.
That said, I don’t understand why every entry in an epic has to get as close to 1,000 pages as possible. This book could easily have been 300 pages shorter. The quality of epic-ness resides in the scope, grandeur, and themes of a tale. Not in the number of pages. A 433 pages book would have still been epic.
