Query: A let down

I loved "Dune" and "Dune Messiah," and after reading them I naturally wanted to dive straight into "Children of Dune." While it starts off well, it soon degenerates, and its ending is one of the most dissapointing I have ever read. Unlike Paul Atreidies, who had a human side that the reader could relate to, his son Leto II is distant, pretentious, and completely uninteresting. His immense power and knowledge make it impossible for the reader to care what happens to him. Neither Jessica nor Alia stand as the fascinating characters they were in "Dune" and "Dune Messiah" respectfully. A downright dissapointment in every aspect.This book left a bitter, sour taste in my mouth after I read it, and remains my least favorite of the Dune saga.
