despite finally having more than just one (1) female character, i found the misogyny in this part of the series to be so detrimental to the story itself. also found the plot more convoluted and at times even confusing in comparison to the previous two books. the only character i really liked and found interesting was Arcadia, but even her whole character

was finally attributed to smarter men of higher powers having created it so. she couldn’t be left a smart and well spoken young woman/girl, nope, that was all because the men of the 2nd foundation manipulated her empty baby brain. + half retconning that (don’t know how it’s spelled, curse of audiobook) Beita from book 2 never had figured out that Magnifico was The Mule by herself, no, that was also the much smarter men from the 2nd Foundation doing their work.

All in all, liked book 1&2 much better.
