I find the writing style of BH and KJA to be … hmmm… everything they describe in their writing is the greatest, the largest, the mostest… when everything’s great everything becomes mundane and boring. It lacks nuance. Also, there are passages where I wonder how did they know that? For example on page 482 of the hardcover “Within the hour, Waff flew up to orbit, where the Heighliner waited for the return of the Valkyrie attack force. The immense black vessel, larger than most cities, shimmered with reflected sunlight. Another Guildship, one obviously equipped with a no-field, circled the planet in a lower orbit.” What made it obvious that it was equipped with a no-field? Little things like that drove me nuts. ( ) I've read a lot of Dune books and there were only one or two that I didn't like and both of those were written by Frank Herbert. I know a lot of people want to hate any "new" Dune books, but obviously they're doing okay because there are at least 4 trilogies of books that have been put out by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. I wish I would have read this right after reading Chapterhouse, I think it would have been even better. I love the sweeping expanse of this universe and the timeline that spans thousands of years also enjoyed the links to the prequels in this one. So only one more to go on the original/base series and I'm looking forward to find out how it all wraps up. These last two Dune books are so hard to rate. In the one hand I'm thrilled to get the end of the saga, but the quality of the writing is a pale shadow of what Frank Herbert gave us. Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson are not great at this. They were the ones that got ahold of the notes and made it happen, though, and for that I'm grateful. Chapterhouse ends in a mighty cliffhanger and these books do resolve that, but they do it sloppily. This story is by turns boringly drawn out, painfully on-the-nose, and filled with exposition. In this way, Hunters is like a lot of modern science fiction, more concerned with the things thought up than the story being told. There are some revelations that strike at irregular intervals, like the footsteps of a Fremen Frank Herbert across the otherwise barren landscape of these pages. Or perhaps his notes are like the waters of Dune, rare and treasured, and just plentiful enough for us to survive. If you are not a giant fan of Dune, do not bother with these books. If your interest waned in books 5 and 6, don't continue on. If you are just dying to know the end so you can close that door in your mind, maybe you should read the Wikipedia page instead. If you do read it, expect a story from a lesser storyteller, an echo of the original like a Ghola unawakened. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
