* FranchiseOriginalSin: ''Heretics of Dune'' is a slow-paced work with lots of dialogue and narration, making the story feel quite slow at times. Most of these issues were present in ''God-Emperor of Dune'', but unlike ''Heretics'', ''God-Emperor'' has Leto II delivering a lot of the dialogue, with much of the narration being from his perspective. Leto II's long life and vast collection of other memories give him a unique perspective, making his perspective very engaging to read. ''Heretics'' continues on in a similar style, but lacks Leto's entertaining presence. ''God-Emperor'''s slow pace also allowed for Leto's master plan to unravel over the course of the story, while [[spoiler:Taraza]]'s plan is much more vague, and the story barely indicates any plan being in place.

* {{Narm}}: Many of the characters refer to the Honored Matres as 'whores'. However, practically every scene the Matres are mentioned, someone will immediately call them 'whores'. It's almost a PhraseCatcher due to its frequency.
