1) amazing female characters who were moms and priestesses and still formidable and respected (two character types that are almost ALWAYS wussified and spoke down on) 2) maybe the first ever convincingly evil villains. The Harkonnens were really getting down with their bad selves, and I was like "I can appreciate their enthusiasm, here; finally some bad guys who aren't halfassing it!"
and by book #2 a whole asston of this was gone. So w/e! Thanks for boring me, Children of Dune!!
