I apologize for the delay in posting this review, but here I am with my thoughts on Dune: The Heir of Caladan, the third and final book of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's Caladan Trilogy. Did you notice the keyword "trilogy"? You must have read Dune: The Duke of Caladan and Dune: The Lady of Caladan before reading the third since several narrative aspects continue. And, given that the trilogy takes place a year earlier, it wouldn't hurt to read Frank Herbert's Dune beforehand.
Paul has his subplot, where he goes on a road trip adventure with Duncan to the jungles of Caladan, which began as a training session but ended up putting them in danger. Meanwhile, his mother, Lady Jessica, is on a deadly mission, assigned by the Bene Gesserit.
Overall, Dune: The Heir of Caladan is an intriguing conclusion to the trilogy that leads naturally to Frank Herbert's Dune. It's not a perfect read; there's a lot of repetition in the first half, which the writers seem to have a horrible habit of doing. However, I enjoyed reading the novel, and it's a little bit superior to Dune: The Lady of Caladan (read my review here). ╌★★★½✰
