A review by daleydale
House Harkonnen by Kevin J. Anderson, Brian Herbert

3.0

The story is intricate and fascinating....but I find some of the narrative is lacking is style. I have yet to read the original Dune (I'm trying to go in chronological order) and I've heard that Brian Herbet's work is far inferior to his father's. While it's generally not poor writing, and the story is well portrayed and the flow is good, there are times when I feel things could be more descriptive, or better phrased. Additionally, the characters, while all having an important place in the story, sometimes seem to not have much depth to them, or rather sometimes feel like they aren't evolving, and it's hard to enjoy the story when the characters appear underdeveloped. Other than that, though I enjoyed it!
