One thing that puts me off any work, particularly the fantastical, is a story that opens by throwing out all sorts of terms that the author made up as if I'm supposed to give a fuck about things that I don't know what they are yet. Hook the reader emotionally with simple human things they understand, then I might actually have reason to care when you start going on about the Bene Geserit or whatever.
