This book was alright. I do love the quote I read in a tumblr post about them that said something along the lines of “the atlas six are whatever the opposite of a found family is” which is so right. I did enjoy the messiness but the plot was bogged down by the vague descriptions of whatever they were actually doing that whole year. Truly I do not know other than having weird sexual situationships with each other. The Ezra payoff also wasn’t that satisfying. But overall a decent and enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed the book until the end. It started off as grounded and very character driven before diving into a completely different story as the book was coming to a close. It’s a shame as I found the characters compelling.

Great read! The story was so intricately written, with loads of mysteries and interesting subplots. All the characters were so unique and facetted. They were so well written! The magic was a little confusing sometimes, I think I only understood towards the end of the book what ‘wards’ were. Sometimes the book also dragged a bit, but I didn’t mind that. I definitely look forward to the next book!

4.5

Fun premise, exceptional characters, pretty good execution.

The plot is simple and fun. Six magicians with exceptionally powerful specialities are selected to join a secret society. But only five can actually join at the end. Cue intrigue, sex, betrayal, magic weirdness, love, hate, death and other fun things.

Over all the book was a great read.

I do have som complaints though.

First of all the author seemed to almost forgot entierly about Reina for almost the entire book which was disapointing since her opening chapter made me really attached to her. I really hope she gets more to do in the next book.

And the ending of the book is very out of left field and exposition heavy. It felt like the author at the last time decided to turn the book into a trilogy and rewrote the ending to set up the sequels. It's a bit heavy handed and not entirely satifying. So lets hope it pays of in the next books!

Also, the book could have had a bit more things happening as most of the book is either characters talking with or thinking about the other characters. Don't get me wrong, I love all these characters and the talking and plotting is terrific, but the pacing of the book could probably have been better with some more action in the middle.

Overall, a great read as I said above and I'm definitely getting the rest of the series ASAP.
