Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov

4.0

Better storyline than the first. The setting and world building are incredibly interesting, but the first one definitely lacked the character depth found here. I also love the reveal of the Mule and was kicking myself for not realizing it was the clown the whole time. He literally killed someone with emotional powers while playing a song and yet I never connected the dots. It was a fun mystery to throw in the otherwise clearly science fiction world that its established.
