Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov

estellecool's review against another edition

4.25

Similarly good to the previous in the season. But beginning to get a bit more convoluted, the 2nd foundation is definitely one of those ideas that are more fun at a distant. Arcadia was a classic plucky young girl but not at all bad. It just in someways suffered from the success of the early 2 books as the mystery of the 2nd foundation was much more delicious than having to explore the nitty gritty of the realities of it.

Plot twists were interesting but delivered in such a manner that I was cackling at the ridiculousness of it. Overall I think Asimov could've spent less time describing people getting brainwave pics and more time with the action and scheming that happens offscreen.

Better than the second installment - although once again I was not surprised by the final reveal.
