I myself was surprised by the departure from the first book that took place in Dune Messiah, but it makes more sense now after finishing Children of Dune. Taking place nine years after the events of the previous book, Dune Messiah, this third installment is a direct sequel, following Paul Atreides’s children, the twins Leto II and Ghanima, as well as many other characters already familiar to readers of the previous two books.ĭune Messiah received a much colder reception than the first Dune novel, being much shorter than its predecessor and undermining most of the heroic characteristics of its main character that readers had come to love. ![]() Published in 1976, Children of Dune is the third entry in Frank Herbert’s legendary Dune saga.
