2025 Book #18: Prelude to Foundation

Hari Seldon is such a powerful figure in the other Foundation books because of how little you know and here he's a bit of an annoying dipshit.

Maybe it's better if you read the Robot books first but I found this one really underwhelming.

2025 Book #17: Excession

Another Culture novel. Was really interesting to learn more about the Minds though I found the actual organic characters to be a little dull.
Still a fun read, but I'd rank it somewhere in the middle of what I've read of the series so far.

Also, Hildegarde Naughton is a hilariously posh name. Sounds like the name of someone at the East India Company tasked with capturing Jack Sparrow.
