holytoastrI have been told this is the last "good" book in the Foundation series. It was pretty good, though I felt like the ending was a little contrived.
This book was a bit of a repeat of the last one. In the last one, the Mule was searching for the location of the second foundation. In this one, a group of scientists (and a scrappy teenager) are looking for it.
I felt very clever because I figured out the location of the second foundation long before the characters started to narrow it down. And the scientists actually never figure it out! It obviously had to be on Trantor. But thanks to the interference of the second foundation, all the scientists end up thinking it was on Terminus. (How the second foundation does this interference is the part I felt was a bit contrived.)
Anyway, I enjoyed the book overall. I am going to take a short break before diving into what I have been told is a steep decline in the series.
