Much like the first book, this story moves slowly as we jump around from POVs. I absolutely love getting the different POVs (there’s six main ones), especially with the audiobook because they each have a different voice actor and y’all, these narrators are SO good. I honestly don’t think I’d like this story as much if I’d read the physical copy. The audio just makes it come alive and I never wanted to stop listening.
I’m pretty sure the plot moved even slower in this one than it did in the first one and I did get frustrated a few times when it felt like the characters were just talking themselves in circles. But then the characters would make me laugh or smile or they would be vulnerable and I would just forgive them. Read these books for the characters!
The magic in this world remains interesting and unique and I’m definitely looking forward to where it’s going. If you liked The Atlas Six, you’ll also enjoy this sequel!
