Started a bit slow. Was beginning to feel disappointed with the book after the thrill that was I, Robot when it really picked up. The second half made up for any complaints I had with the first.

Found Jesse setup a bit weird & found her character not very well thought through. A bit irritated by her portrayal tbh. But since Calvin in the first book was a strong female character, I'm not sure how Asimov typically portrays women in his books. I guess I will find out.

Bailey's flip at the end is too sudden. Not very convincing.
