That's it... No more Dune books for me. I didn't like the fifth book in the series and this sixth one, Chapterhouse: Dune, is no different. I'm not even sure if this one had any worms in it... and it has only passing references to melange. It doesn't take place on the planet Dune either. And then the characters that were most heavily built up in the previous book were barely used at all here... and this is the direct sequel to that story. Oh yeah... nothing happens for the first two hundred pages either. And then when the story does pick up all of the big events happen off the page. What a waste of time.If you must know the story... the Bene Gesserit continue their war with the Honored Matres. Why the Honored Matres returned to attack the Bene Gesserit is still not explained here... so it is hard to care too much about it. Did I mention none of the characters are that interesting either? The Bene Gesserit grow a ghola clone of Miles Teg to lead their forces and when they do attack at the end they're somehow defeated... the book doesn't really say how. But then Murbella the Honored Matres turned Bene Gesserit is able to kill the leader of the Honored Matres and take over leadership and merge the two factions. Did this summary mention Duncan or Sheeana the two characters the previous book spent the whole time building up? Nope. Overall it was just super frustrating. C-.
