The Foundation Trilogy
by Isaac Asimov
Thought provoking and complex, the three novels in this trilogy bounded together read more like philosophy cases than story-led science fiction. Rich ideas are more than capable of making up for characters or settings, as each character and setting ended up becoming conduits for ideas, symbols for the muses Asimov needed to put down on paper. This is usually how most stories are written, but Asimov's style and prose makes it even more evident.
My favorite arc from the series was The Mule, as the conflict he introduced really spiced things up for this galaxy. He's a literal mutant.
Then we have Arcadia, my next favorite/interesting character, and one who sticks out by a ton because she's an actual character. She fits in well enough with the rest of the story, though many a times she came out feeling like a companion from Doctor Who. Maybe this is where that idea came from! She seriously carries a lot of those quality, specially for 1949!
That was quite the journey and after 6 months I finally finished The Foundation Trilogy!!
