I’d have been a little upset considering the first movie ended half way through the 1st book. Lol

The director recently said that should the 3rd one get greenlit it will be his last. So it’s not confirmed but its been pretty successful so far.

We’re going on an adventure!

Honestly, I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t read the sequels. Dune, Messiah, and Children of Dune are phenomenal. The first two moreso. It gets real weird after that, and I don’t mean that lightly. Chapterhouse brings it back around a bit though. Kinda. I’m actually glad they’re stopping after the Dune Messiah movie. Don’t know how they’d make God Emperor interesting or if I’d even want to watch it.

Oh man, what a great question. Whatever you choose first will absolutely be the correct choice with these two series. I’ve read through both but Expanse takes the cake for me. The characters and the story are so relatable and you feel like you are part of this world. Hyperion is a trip. The characters aren’t very relatable but they are great regardless. You feel like you are being told a story as opposed to being a part of it. Which makes sense once you start to read it. That doesn’t take away from how phenomenal it is but I just felt more immersed in the Expanse. I’ve also read all of the novellas and watched the show several times. It is inarguably my favorite series so I may be biased.

Ummon would be pretty good too.

Festool is the dad who still says “My father will hear about this”. Sure people like him but he’s still an asshole.
