I’ve read the first book and half of messiah, but I have a hard time visualizing what’s happening. (Aphantasia)

Is there a youtube series you know about that explains the story in under a couple hours?

    When you’re done (at least passed God Emperor), I also recommend the Dune videos by Alt Shift X!

    Check out the part one video of Ultimate Guide To Dune by Quinn’s Ideas on Youtube. I would link to it here, but when I try that it doesn’t save the comment.

    Edit: Ooh, it let me comment finally! Here’s a link to the video. It summarizes all 6 of Frank Herbert’s novels in a very visual way using artwork and movie stills over 30 minutes.

    Note: if you want to stop around where the Part 1 movie finished, stop around the 9:08 mark. For the end of the Dune novel, stop around the 9:20 mark.

        After listening to 1/3 of Dune on audiobook, visualizing has been much easier.

        Listening about a week after reading also helps

        Edit: ouf I tried to comment after seeing your post yesterday. Finally was able through your reply

          The problems with commenting might have been my fault in how I set up the languages of the community. Apparently you need to have ‘Underground’ selected in addition to ‘English’. Should be fixed now. My apologies.
