The series started off great. The Caves of Steel and The Naked Sun were amazing. But this one… would not recommend. I love Asimov but there was no reason to keep this one about how freaky Gladia is. I read other reviews of this one and it just gets worse and worse.

Probably won’t read any more Asimov for a while. Bummer. I love his writing but this took a dark turn. How did this win an award?.

His writing is amazing honestly. That’s the one good thing I can say about this one. He writes so eloquently. The beginning was so beautiful, writing wise, but once he got to Aurora, I was bored instantly. I kept reading and it just got worse. I knew I should’ve followed my gut, but I hate DNFing books but this one had good reason tbh…

Aurora has some moral issues. Could they please nuke Aurora? Please? Thanks.

 Good book. Surprising amount of incest.
