Is Dune good? I'm through "BOOK ONE", the first section (ends with Paul going full supercomputer IM A FREAAAKKKK) and it seems like an escapist YA power fantasy. Paul and his mother are Mary Sues.

I particularly cringed at the scene where paul and the mother was escaping the chopper and she say "heehee fight over me boys ;))) <3" then paul does a ninja move

the whole point is that Paul is supposed to be the culmination of thousands of years of selective breeding for the perfect specimen to inherit some black magic space powers. So yeah he is a mary sue, but there is a reason behind it. They've trained to control their body and even change chemical reactions whithin it. "I aint gotta explain shit, it's space magic"

I blind bought the first 4 books earlier this summer and read them all over the course of June. They're all pretty bad but God Emperor of Dune was a step in the right direction.
