QUESTION: Is Alia as impotent as her brother Paul in doing anything? Seems like she gives up to the Baron's influence really easily.

Galby J. Celestin

Why didn't Paul never had kids with Irulan

Observation: On p.82-93 we meet up with Essas Paymon and Ziarenka Valefor. Their surnames are the names of devils in the Lesser Key of Solomon. I had mentioned about a year ago on Twitter to you that Herbert was using these names for various people working for Alia. Paimon is more commonly spelled with an 'i' than a 'y'. Did you want to go a little more in-depth about that? Or wait a little bit, but this seems to be where these names start cropping up. 'Ziarenka' is apparently diminutive in Polish for 'Ziarno' which traces back through Indo-European as a 'seed of grain' according to Wiktionary. 'Essas' is more troubling because it's a feminine plural of 'that' (in Portuguese?), unless he is poking at an Abomination being a plural being. I knew about Ziarenka around the time i tweeted, but only gave 'Essas' a whirl right now as I'm typing this. Good fun!

The Alia-Baron chapter was quite dense. While I understand the usefulness and value of the Baron as effective guardian against the multitude of Alia's inner-selves, I doubted he could teach something to a full Reverend Mother with plenty of knowledge and training. The only explanation is that the Baron can teach wicked tricks only animal-humans would use and not a Bene Gesserit... Do you have another take on this? Also, big shout-out for the metaphores and similes Frank used to describe Alia's inner struggle: the dew, the qanat, the sand-trouts... they conveyed the desperation and longing for a safe place. I think these chapters introduced parenting as another big theme of the book. Still puzzled by Paul's and Jessica's decision of leaving their respective sons, but here Frank suggested that love can lead you to drastic decisions.

Apart from revenge, why doesn't house Corrino marry their son to Ghanima? I know Irulan was married to Paul, but Ghanima is not her child

In this section we see Ghanima get closer to Jessica - moreso than I we saw Alia. And then Alia gets along with her grand daddy Harkonen! I think it's fun how Frank gets into hereditary genetics. I wonder if the idea is how sometimes genes skip a generation and then bam maybe we can get along with our granparents more than our own parents because we're actually more alike? Just fun food for thought. Question, have you had grandparents that got along with you better than they had with your parents? :) Could you imagine having a daughter and them getting along with your mum or dad more than you? :P

What's the state of the Jihad at this point? If Princess Winsicia's lot succeeds with taking out the twins won't she still have all those guys to deal with?
