I recommend Dune because it’s more than just sci-fi—it’s a powerful mix of politics, prophecy, and survival. The world-building is insanely rich, and the deeper you go, the more it makes you think about our own world.

This story pulled me in with the mystery but kept me reading because of the meaning behind it. It’s creative, emotional, and lowkey inspiring once you catch the message. If you’re into fantasy with deeper layers, this one’s worth the read.
