          I never want to hear another dude complaining about Mary Sue heroines in SFF/YA when literally the first five chapters of Dune are just other people explaining to Paul (and us) how awesome and special he is while Paul essentially stands there being sassy and asking questions.

          I’ll say this for Dune: once it gets past all the initial infodumping, weirdness and As You Know, Bob-ing, it’s very readable. But I’m still waiting for the next bit of unexpected WTFery to whap ms across the temples.

          OK. Jessica has been with Leto for 16 years, and was taken to him from school, so assuming she was 15-19 when that happened, she’s now somewhere between 31 and 35.

          WAIT I just remembered (and checked) that the Reverend Mother said Jessica had been her “serving wench” for fourteen years at school. So does that mean Jessica was 14 when Leto bought her, or that she came to the BG school as a kid and THEN spent 14 years there??

          Like. There’s a few good bits from the earlier chapters that you could chop back in as flashbacks or in a different order, but were I an editor, “His first encounter with the people he was meant to betray left Dr Kynes shaken” would make for a vastly stronger opening.

          This chapter gives us multiple POV, neatly shows Paul as a child of prophecy in an intriguing way without belabouring it, and introduces major significant details in a natural way, all while progressing the plot. This should’ve been first! We didn’t need to see Caladan!

          I cannot get over the fact that pretty much everyone in this book has more traditionally SFF name - which is to say, a made up name, or at least an unusual one, as per Idaho and Wellington - except for the two protagonists, who are Paul and Jessica. IT'S SO JARRING.

          Love how Jessica's inner monologue is suddenly 'oh bee tee dubs I'm pregnant and have known for weeks and also it's a girl," like this isn't something that would've reasonably crossed her mind before this point.

          There's such a cool idea at the heart of this book - I get why so many people love it - but Herbert just cannot resist having his characters *constantly* explaining their motives and reasoning to the reader and to each other, and it's frustrating as hell.

          What it makes me think is that Herbert was, whether consciously or not, dismissive of the intelligence of his readers - that he thought he was being So Very Smort about every little thing that he HAD to explain it, or no one would get it, and therefore not KNOW he was Smort.
