What the critics say
"Though the plot here is intricate, even readers new to the saga will be able to follow it easily (minute repetitions of important points help immensely), as the narrative weaves among the many interconnected tales. The attendant excitement and myriad revelations not only make this novel a terrific read in its own right but will inspire readers to turn, or return, to its great predecessor." ( Publishers Weekly)

I love everything Dune
THE GOOD:
Hearing that the story about where the Baron got his disease was absolutely amazing,. I already kind of knew because of YouTube videos but they have conflicting opinions on there sometimes so I thought it was just someone’s opinion.
*********SPOILER ALERT— After the first time Helena slept with Baron I was so disappointed, thinking oh, it wasn’t even true, but then, after that first baby was born and I realized she had to go back. I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to hear it out, I knew that Aaron was going to be pissed about her coming back too lol. **********END OF SPOILER
Some new characters were introduced of course, and we learn about the nature of Count Fenring’s relationship to the emperor, and about Emperor Shaddam IV’s ascendancy, which was cool.
THE BAD:
The dialogue, both in writing and performance, left much to be desired. Luckily, in keeping with Franks legacy, we spent a lot of time in the minds of the characters, which was perfectly narrated and well written. My main gripe is how little time is spent actually diving into the history of house Atreides. I didn’t expect a meticulous 10000 year history, but I mean… it’s the title of the book! Lol. I understand it couldn’t be exclusively Atreides content, and that we need to understand politics of the known universe at the time, but house Harkonen, the Bene Gesserit, Ix, Bene Tleilax and House Corrino were all granted equal attention.
Despite all that, I still loved it, I just can’t help but to love everything Dune. It’s the first book series I’ve ever fallen in love with, and remains the only.

Great performance and a great prequel to Dune
The book almost feels like an immediate prequel to Dune, getting to know more about Leto and Paulus Atreides was informative, it indeed kept me within the universe. It made me read more to uncover the mysteries of the known universe.
Also what a great performance!

Deception, betrayal, triumph!
Very exciting to once again hear how house Atreides has once again found itself in the middle of deception, and betrayal. All paths lead to struggle.

My Journey Begins.
I have tried to get into Dune twice now. Twice I just couldn't do it. So it took the recent film and Audible to finally get me into this universe. I freaking love it, the intrigue, the drama, the political machinations and of course the history of these characters that I saw in the film is so engrossing, with such an expansive world building universe that I'm going to enjoy the long haul. Glad that I gave it a third chance.

Amazing Prequel
DUNE is one of the most complex and unique properties out there. It’s weird, filled with machinations, brutal, and complex. That’s why I love it so much.
HOUSE ATREIDES chronicles the beginnings of Duke Leto Atreides, Duncan Idaho, and Emperor Shaddam. This of course, doesn’t discount the Fremen, Harkonnens, and all the others who occupy this dangerous universe.
If you’re not a fan of politicking, you may find it hard to enjoy this book. So much of the plot and story revolve around power struggles and treachery. Everyone is after their own goal and will do whatever they can to get it.
The characters are an eclectic lot. While some, like Leto and Duncan do have honor on their side, most of the cast is ruthless. No one can truly be trusted and it keeps the tension raised.
Though the plot focuses on schemes and court machinations, there are a few action scenes to make things more entertaining for casual readers.
I’ve always loved the Dune universe and found this to be easier to understand for my style of reading. Highly recommended for new fans and casual readers who want to dive into this complicated and fascinating world.

A nice start to the prequel
Definitely not as complex and detailed as the original series. But nonetheless a fun story that kept me engaged and sets the stage for the original series. Great reading as well.

Quite enjoyable!
While somewhat predictable the writing of Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson keeps the world of Dune alive and interesting.

Great listen, other secrets uncovered
This is another good insight into the great Dune Universe. Particularly loved to learn what triggered Baron Harkonnen's obesity and the progress of the Bene Gesserit's gene manipulation program
