As always, I like Herbert’s descriptions of worlds… but this book was claustrophobic and odd. Some explanation, any explanation, of the golden path as being anything other than avoiding some other unnamed “big bad” would have made it more tolerable. Usually Herbert pulls off some plot twist at the end that renders the whole thing as masterful but when one of the female characters had an orgasm when Duncan threw the rope down towards her from the top of a wall… I knew then I wasn’t going to get anything that made any sense. I liked the concept of Duncans as time travellers of a sort, and of having a community as a mind, and what 3500 years of time might look like; but the approach to women, and sex, and horrors homosexuality was so odd. Not sure about approaching the next in the series… could it get any weirder???
