Reception
Ryan Britt of Den of Geek wrote, "When Dune begins, this matter has more or less been settled, but how? Dune: The Lady of Caladan, a new prequel novel in the Dune series, answers that question and then some. The latest in a long line of Dune prequel and sequel novels from Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, The Lady of Caladan tells the story of Jessica’s tribulations and adventures in the year before the original book begins. And, in doing so, The Lady of Caladan enriches the entire saga. If, after re-reading Frank Herbert’s Dune, or, in anticipation of the new film, you want to get a greater sense of Lady Jessica, this book delivers. Here’s how The Lady of Caladan fits into the Dune timeline, and why it’s a fantastic way of reframing the larger story."[5] Jordan Maison of Cinelinx stated, "Even though The Lady of Caladan brings to mind some familiar problems, I find myself greatly enjoying this new trilogy. I especially had fun with this one. There’s plenty of action, intrigued [sic], and all those elements you’ve come to expect from the franchise. The middle novel does an excellent job of wrapping up earlier storylines, while introducing some others I’m eager to see payoff when the final book arrives next year."[6]
