What did you think of Dune Prophecy in the end @stpaultim?
I really enjoyed it. Making the Bene Gesserit the focus made it a very different story from the first Dune novel the two recent films were based on. Much like Andor season 2, it starts slowly. As you say;
> So many characters to introduce and so much world building to do
... but by the third episode I was hooked. I haven't enjoyed a speculative fiction series this much since mid-era Game of Thrones.
