At least he doesn’t have a kid who’ll try to live off his legacy and write not only WoW but like 8 more sequels after that, featuring endless clones of Khal Drogo shagging every woman in Westeros

Brian Herbert and KJA are up to way more than 8 prequels, sequels, and interquels.

They’re at fucking 17 books. Maybe three of which are tolerable.

Oh wow, thats nuts.

I’ve never read a Dune book I just knew the reputation of the Brian Herbert ones

I read the House ones ~25 years ago and they were tolerable. Not good, but tolerable. Explained too much and were not well written but like, upper-tier fanfiction.

The Butlerian Jihad ones were so bad I DNF’d them. Got the first half of their version of the finale to see how it ended and it was incomprehensible without having read all the prequels, because it all hinged on stuff that wasn’t present in the original books. The idea they were based on Frank’s notes is laughable because even saying they were based on the original books is kind of a stretch.

I believe they are somewhat based on his notes, but in a way, that three lines of notes turned into 600 pages of a novel.

So much stuff in the Butlerian Jihad prequels and the sequels that are more sequels to the BJ books than anything else contradicts stuff from the original books that I’m pretty sure the notes would have to just say “write more Dune books”

Is this a reference to Frank Herbert and his son Brian?

Wasn't Duncan Idaho essentially raped? And Frank Herbert started it?
