Nice to see this review finally getting published. “Overall, this is a closely argued, well-supported study that highlights the strength in the Bene Gesserit sisterhood throughout the six-book series.”

"Claude, please create a Buzzfeed from a world that is just like our own, except that Howard Taft returned from the dead and rules the country from the TaftDome"

Thanks! Everyone should get the chance to study this classic.
