I won't tell you what the worm is swallowing because it's mentioned in the books. It's one of the pieces of evidence pointing to who will be the enemy in Dune 7 though. So that's a pretty strong hint.

I thought the Butlerian Jihad was a marked step down from the House books. It definitely is a completely different world than Dune and the characters are all new and just don't stand up to those from the House books or the originals. The style is very similar to the House books in that there is a Cahpter with Character A followed by Chapter with Character B then another Chapter with Character C before getting back to Character A.
The motivations of the Machines didn't really make too much sense to me, but judge for yourself. If you don't expect intensely great things, I don't think you'll be as disappointed. So that's my advice. Expect a B sci-fi novel.
