Why does it get weird with each book, I read the first two and the second book was way weirder than the first, makes me scared of reading the third and fourth.

I was kind of upset how the first one just... ends. Like I know there's not much more after that but it just ends with him being mean to a pretty princess :(

The second book explains the corruption and decadance of the new theocratic empire that he created.

Same, I hated the ending of the first but the second ending was very satisfying, made reading the second book worth it.

Yeah, it was foreshadowed in the first book, with the whole jihad visions.

The 4th book, God Emperor of Dune, is by far the weirdest book, but also the only one that's actually good apart from the first one

It's about an engineered messiah in a universe where messiahs aren't real

Read through to God Emperor and you have a complete story.

Heretics and Chapterhouse were going somewhere, but then he died and Brian let Kevin J Anderson rape the corpse 20 years later.
