Finished "Children of Dune" and enjoyed it a lot!

Sunday I finished Frank Herbert's third Dune book "Children of Dune" and it kept my imagination working afterwards, indicating what a great read it was. I really like how Dune is such veiled reflection of Arab history. Muad'dib's tragedy as he saw how "his" religion caused billions of people to die in the Jihad. Then his reappearance as the preacher, critizising the cult around his (former) personality. Then the story of his twins and Leto losing his humanity due to becoming one with the Shai Hulud, giving him superpowers and an unnatural long life span. There's many layers and perspectives on Dune: religion, politics, technology, philosophy, etc. Great read and I'm looking forward to the next book!
