Probably my own fault for not reading the blurb but these really are folk tales, told almost in the oral tradition. They seem crafted for camp fires and teenage sleepovers more than for the page. But they're canny enough.

This has started much more strongly than Stars, Like dust. Straight of the bat it's noticeably better executed but what I most like is that this feels like a book that belongs in the greater foundation universe. We are learning about Trantor and the rise of the galactic empire. Good start let's see where we end up.

I'm really enjoying this but it's quite a slow read.

Listening to this one on audiobook and holy shit I need a physical copy. I thought McCarthy was special and it turns out I didn't know the half of it. That Alfonsa monologue was absolutely breathtaking.
