The premise of the Foundation books (1-3) ought to be absurdly weak on paper but Isaac Asimov makes the plot work flawlessly and with mindblowing precision. The prose doesn't feel heavy and is incredibly satisfying with several mindblowing conclusions and the characters are astoundingly relatable, especially the Mule story in the second book.

There were numerous twists that I didn't see coming including Preem and the first and second books were two definite page turners and although the stories may be short and somewhat episodic these are concise and well thought out stories that do not detract from the overall experience (for those such as myself who prefer a longer novel).

I only hope that Season 3 of Code Geass will be 75% as satisfying as Foundation and Empire.

KEK.
Kay is such a shitposter, holy crap. I read Tigana too and there's a snark off between Brandin and the other tyrant that had me in stitches.
