Loved the book, though I didn’t fell in love with it as I did the first one.
It was a bit boring at times, for my taste anyway. The only thing that is nagging the hell out of me, is why Nico and Tristan didn’t go to Fowler and make him take her back. Or if I have misunderstood something about them not know Fowler a powers then why not see if Fowler really were a time traveler so they then could use him to get her back instead of hoping that she would make a nuclear bomb. I don’t know if I have missed something that would explain it since I heard it on audiobook, and was doing something while listening to it. So that may explain why. Otherwise I found the book kind of unnecessary since the plot was really meh. The characters were fantastic.that was also why I read it to the end. Loved all the characters- kind of. Liked the first book much better than this one though.

It was very drawn out with very little advancement of the plot, and very little character development. I think this book could have easily not existed at all, and the series could have been a duology with this book condensed into a few chapters at the end of the last book and the beginning of the next. If I hadn't been listening to the audiobook I probably would have DNFd this.
I will likely still read the final book, but only because I assume it will be available through borrow box like the last two. If I had paid for this book I would have been extremely disappointed.

Since I really liked the first book I was a bit disappointed this time. The only thing happening plotwise is that we learn what happened to Libby, who vanished at the end of The Atlas Six. The rest is mostly meaningless conversations between characters and it feels like a typical second book in a trilogy. I'm still somewhat fascinated by the characters and I like some of them, and the fact that they are so different that it's easy to keep them apart. My favorite is actually not one of "the six", but Gideon, Nico's friend.
The multiple narrators also makes it easier to separate the characters, but there's a downside. The narrators have different reading speeds, which makes my chosen speed (1,7) sometimes too fast, and other times too slow. I don't want to change the speed every time the narrator changes, so it became a small disturbance. As of now I feel a bit torn about whether to continue or not, but I guess I'll want to know how it ends eventually.
