Kevin W. Herron rated Dune Messiah (Dune Chronicles, Book 2): 4 stars

I’m a reader first and an artist somewhere in the margins — endlessly curious about what drives people and civilizations. My shelves span adventure and discovery: from the far reaches of space to the pages of history, from the psychology of leadership to the inner worlds that shape human behavior.
Science fiction has always been my favorite lens for exploring those ideas — stories that imagine what we might become, or warn what we could lose. I’m especially drawn to sprawling universes like Star Wars: Legends and The Expanse, where exploration meets morality and myth. Alongside the starships and distant empires, you’ll find biographies, history, and the occasional book on psychology or creative process — anything that helps me understand why we strive, create, and connect.
For all the journeys among the stars, I still have a soft spot for swashbuckling tales closer to home — The Three Musketeers and The Scarlet Pimpernel remain lifelong favorites for their wit, courage, and adventure.
From an art perspective, I once lived on sites like ArtStation and DeviantArt, but the corporate turn — especially with all the AI noise — left them feeling hollow. These days I’m more at home here on the Fediverse, where creativity and conversation still feel human.
Classe Ink is my place of refuge — a small corner of calm reflection in a world that often feels defiant, polarized, and angry. Here, the stories remind me that empathy still matters, and that imagination can be an act of quiet resistance.
