Finished Dune. Was apprehensive at first due to what felt like at times an info dump of lore and world building, but couldnt help but kinda get swept along by it and ended up enjoying it quite a bit.
I enjoyed its attempts to dig into and explore tropes like the white saviour/ great man myths, and also references to colonialism and Islam. However, I felt like the book sometimes still, probably unintentionally still fell into these tropes. Albeit was probably only 15/20% of the time in the book, but was still pretty noticeable and a bit cringeworthy when it did.
