For some reason the phone I helped make got a very belated review on “Good E-Reader”.
Now, this phone is EOL’d and unsupported so I don’t get why they’re reviewing it now. I keep mine in a drawer as a spare. It never worked very well since calls often wouldn’t get through, making me miss deliveries and emergencies. I also couldn’t hear very well what the other person was saying. Maybe the SAR was too low. I contributed to the OS side of things. I haven’t started it in years.

It is common knowledge that Frank Herbert’s classic Dune novels are chock-full of Islamic and MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) references.1 However, as a Muslim reader, I have long maintained that the Muslim influences go deeper than many may have realized. I am of the theory that if one is Muslim, or otherwise intimately aware of Muslim traditions, that person’s experience of Dune differs vastly from any other reader’s encounter with the saga.

Arden Vul is heavy on the prepped facts which is cumbersome but enables so much interconnectivity. As just one example (out of dozens of such examples per session), someone’s shoe is missing in one room and that shoe then actually is somewhere else in this ginormous dungeon. There are books and rings and… ugh, I shouldn’t‘ve mentioned the rings because that’s a problem here. This book puts the awesomest most mindblowing stuff in the hands of the most pushover, easy-to-kill villains. Again, the setup and overall construction and sheer tier-one–ness is what makes this so awesome, not the content itself.
