I agree first and foremost. I personally strongly disliked Chani's representation in the films, however. Especially the second film. Part of it was the writing, part of it was the acting. I think Zendaya is a good actor, but I don't think she was a good fit for the role. I feel the same way about Bardem in his role as Stilgar, but to a lesser degree.

Next he will be claiming a plague of locusts and rivers turning to blood are on their way. By november it will be "paint your door frame with blood or the kamabala will kill your firstborn child"

That's pretty much how he already is and is a big part of the problem

A fun standalone one is Hous of Suns, not part of any of his larger collections. In the Revelation Space series, Chasm City is a good one which can also be done by itself, or The Prefect (formerly Aurora Rising, not sure what the details of the name situation are) which is the first of a trilogy set within the Rev Space series and is tangentially related to Chasm City.

Nope, this was my first one. I read a lot of SF/hard SF but it took me a while to get on to this series even though it is pretty famous. It was really well written in my opinion which is not always common in the genre. I have now started the second book.

As an aside, I will always take an opportunity to recommend my favorite SF author, Alastair Reynolds. His stuff is 🤌
