Foundation's edge

This book is just wow. I love how everything from the previous books forms together to make this amazing story and even introduces new concepts such as collective consciousness of the Gaians.

I liked all the characters in this book. I even liked the protagonist, Golan Trevize, which is a surprise because protagonists rarely tend to get any interest (of course Elijah Baley is an exception!). The antagonist was also great. So many great things to say about the characters.

I also loved how the robots were re-introduced to be relevant again! I love robots so this was a huge surprise, but a welcome one.

The only minor criticism I have is on the approach to Gaia. The book makes the point that Golan is taking his time to get to Gaia and I really felt it. It's good character development but it was just a little too slow for me. But other than it was perfect.

The First and Second Foundation were both brilliant in this and the Gaians were mindblowing and their connections to robots was just awesome.

I also liked how the Mule is a Gaian and that really adds to his backstory and explains why nobody knows where he's from.

Such a great book.
