I finished God Emperor yesterday and didn't really like any of the books. Am I just retarded?
>None of the characters in any of the books are interesting, they may as well just be cardboard cutouts
>Paul never really does anything bad in the chapters told from his point of view. All of the horrible shit happens off-screen
>The writing style itself has some of the shittiest prose out there. Ctrl+f "presently" will give you a hundred results per book
>Everything related to Alia
>Everything related to Jessica
>Everything related to the weird amounts of horniness in book 4
>Every book introduces a new location that is extremely important to the lore and the universe but it was never mentioned in previous entries
Genuine question, am I stupid and the books' 2deep4u themes are flying over my head? Nothing in them really seemed all that deep or philosophical, MAYBE Leto's fate of becoming the god emperor and trying to guide humanity towards the golden path but that's it
