Abu and Leo break down the seven most egregious sins committed by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson in their Dune novels. They discuss the lack of depth in characters, the absence of subtlety in storytelling, and the overall boring and predictable nature of the plots. They also highlight the stark contrast between Brian Herbert's writing and that of his father, Frank Herbert, emphasizing the failure to capture the complexity and richness of the original Dune series.
This episode contains SPOILERS for the Brian Herbert prequel novels House Atreides, House Harkonnen, and House Corrino
