4.0

While not my favorite in the robot series, Robots and Empire was still thoroughly enjoyable. I liked that it was centered more directly on Daneel (and Giskard). Rather than using them solely as plot devices and supporting characters, they are now full-fledge completely hashed out main characters. It's also nice to learn more about Gladia without her becoming insufferable. 
4 stars because it was great and enjoyable while also informative.

While not as good as American Gods, it has all the charm and is just as enjoyable. It's just a more lighthearted and fun read. Really enjoyed it.

If it wasn't so sexist it'd be a 2.75. It's really just OK. Too many mistakes and too many unnecessary sex scenes.
