The Mule to me is more interesting when discussed historically rather than seeing his actions directly. The Second Foundation storyline in the latter half was much stronger and I liked the character of Arkady though she didn't really do a whole lot after Preem left. The talk between the Speakers was really cool and elaborated further on the universe and the Plan. The twist that the Second Foundation was on Trantor was pretty cool. Preem being the First Speaker was also totally unexpected!

I wonder if the idea that humans could always communicate telepathically is why Schwarz got the ability in Pebble in the Sky, it could be trying to connect these ideas together.
