When I re-read Dune I stopped after Messiah. I'd recommend reading all 6 the first time around though. Don't bother with any of the Kevin J Anderson continuation garbage.

i read some of the dune prequels and admittedly they will always be compared to the original works, but i didn't like them. the characters were one dimensional and the plots were juvenile - ooh, giant robot battles!

spoiler: when duke leto atreides' first son is killed in a terrorist bombing, he leans back and shouts "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

having said that. i felt all the CANONICAL dune books were pretty good, some better than others, some working to different strengths than others, but i didn't feel i'd wasted the week or so it took to read them all.

Whats a great, long, grand scifi/fantasy series with quite a few characters but has no major drop off in quality?
Something longer than a trilogy, something which isn't written by Wolfe or Vance or Martin or Tolkien
I was thinking either
1. Hainish Cycle
2. Mazalan
3. Dune
4. I'm not sure if sanderson is as good
I just want something to sink my time into that is as rewarding and enjoyable as the demon prince series or the solar cycle & urth

It doesn't seem as if there are more than a dozen scifi/fantasy series' longer than a trilogy that are even worth reading, surely I must've missed a few

the Honored Matres in the last two canon Dune books were tending in that direction.
