Criticism #4: Bellonda goes bye bye!

I for one was looking forward to Bellonda's role in Hunters of Dune as Murbella's foil. Alas, BH&KJA dropped a bridge on her.

In Hunters, Bellonda gets exiled to monitor spice operations, where she doesn't participate in the plot at all. Her partner, Doria, an Honored Matre kills her in a petty fight. Murbella forces them to share and then both Doria and Bellonda-within get eaten by a sandworm. Nobody ever seems to notice or comment on this.
