If the show is mid, the book is bad. If the show is bad, the book is ass.
The name is a lie. It's not about the Order, it's just touching the order every other chapter. I really just wanted the lore. It's about post-batlerian jihad politics, war between people who oppose the use of technology and the other side. The part about the Order of Sisters is so miniscule, it is hard to grasp references and callbacks to what will only become significant centuries later.
I don't see the reason in the trilogy about major schools, bearing the name of those schools, and each book is just about them all. That's kind of fucking stupid. And I can't help but notice that in the end, women get either gunned down, shunned or damaged. Also, a few dozen of Mother Superiors is the way to let them spread and preach and a way for Jessica eons after to become specifically a freeman Mother Superior or whatever, but it's also stupid. ''Order is your family'' becomes shallow when women risk other women to gain power and maybe, only maybe share it.
Valya's journey is weak and should have been quicker. Her righteous purpose of repairing her family's image is just words. All her winning mother Rakella's favor didn't even get her to Wallah. She went home only to witness her brother's dead body and vow more vengeance on the Artreides line. And everybody clapped.
I might be too stupid for advance science fiction, but I enjoyed God Emperor of Dune. It was strange and solemn and sad, and a lot of it told from the perspective of a huge talking worm.
605 pages of this book filled me with nothing but lies.

Did Frank Herbert write it? No? There’s your problem.
Any book by Brian and not Frank Herbert is just not worth it.
