I think the Dune series scratched the itch through SciFi that Game of Thrones scratched (more recently) through fantasy for alot of people.

The more I read the more it seemed like all of the main characters, while being introduced as super human, were kinda dumbasses.

I was confused for a while before finding that, yeah, Herbert might have been trying to make you like bad people who thought they were good people.

Also, :rat-salute: for powering through those six books.
