I have been reading Dune. I also have the 2nd and 3rd book but my wife read them and said they are so different from the first, it's like they're from different authors and about different topics. At the end of the 3rd, she said, "It wasn't bad per se, but I'm still confused, what did I just read?"
So I jumped straight into Brandon Sanderson's "The lost metal" which is steampunk fantasy where magic is made from humans using metals in "allomancy". These books are spectacularly good, and I'm sure this one does not disappoint. This is part of the second of 3 series of these allomancy books, there was a trilogy in pre-industrial times, a quadrilogy in steampunk times and there will be an upcoming series of books in a futuristic sci-fi era with the same magic system. I can't wait.
