 The space opera element to the Second Foundation was more enjoyable here than it was in Foundation and Empire. I was hoping throughout that the series was building up to something monumental - something that would pull together the provocative beginnings from Foundation. The ending, however, left me with the impression that Asimov was really just telling a story rather than making a point.
