Children of dune icons

[alexandral]

I finished these mini-series a couple of weeks ago. At the end I feel in love with it, quite irrationally, head over the heels. The icons are free to share, please let me know if you would like any text added.

It's quite strange that, although I'm usually not very fond of slash/incest fiction, the idea of Leto/Ghanima always attracted me. Perhaps because it's somehow quite canon-ish?

I an not that fond of slash/incest fiction neither but it is true – Leto and Ghanima are different. The whole universe is different in "Dune" and this may be the reason too.

Yes, I think both Alia and Irulan deserved better, but the whole Atreides family was struck by tragedy and drama, so I guess this was their destiny and it had to be fulfilled, for some kind of greater good. Although I'm not that sure of what the Bene Gesserit understood as "greater good".

This is what got me confused at the end – both Leto and Bene Gasserit were trying to achieve the best path for the humanity. And I really expected that Leto would do that but he didn't , at the end..

Yes. He ended up being known and feared as a tyrant, although there still was a touch of humanity inside him. He was still able to love. I think I'm talking about God and Emperor here, because Chapter House it's about other sort of stuff. It's quite blurry, I actually should revise my reading of these amazing books, as soon as I'll get some time. After all, Frank Herbert is my favourite Sci-Fi author, I found no one able to compare to him so far, so I should pay him my annual respect, and re-read the whole collection, lol.

And I think you're right concerning the so-called incest in this universe. After all, it was a concept that had kept the Egyptian dynasties alive, and it was quite accepted by the Celts as well, at least from what I've read in Mists of Avalon :p Of course, in the twins' case, it's more something like a political move, but I'm not sure Ghanima ever had some feelings for Farad'n, and plus, Leto knew so well what he'll become, and perhaps ... argh. I'm so messy when I think at the same time I write, lol. Even my grammar gets worse :D

You have completely persuaded me - I have decided to re-read "Children of DUNE" ! The whole twins incest thing is very deeply explored in "A song of ice and fire" books..

Hehe, I might start re-reading it soon, too. I'd be glad to exchange opinions and thoughts on it, whenever you're available :)

Ah. Martin, I think. I've bought the second book of his (trilogy or quadrilogy, I'm not sure) recently, but I can't find the first one. I'll search online. I wanted so much to read it! This means it's a very interesting reading, if you liked it and you'd rec it to me.

YAAY! Let's do a re-read!

Martin's books are one of my favourite series! I really rec!!!

[savepureness.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the rec, then. It comes from various members of my f-list, so I should really do it, as soon as I'll get the books somehow.

Re-read it shall be. I'll probably start next week ;)

Agreed!!!!!
