I don't really have too much to say about Children of Dune. It is the third book in the series and it picks up a few years after the previous book. The Atreides twins are starting to grow up but even though they are children they have the full knowledge of their ancestors. Leto II has a vision on how best to lead the empire created by his father and he has to navigate the usual things that occur in Dune novels (assassination attempts, political maneuvering by different houses and the Bene Gesserit, acceptance by the Fremen). It isn't a classic like the first book but it is more exciting than Dune Messiah. I guess I'll got with a B+.
