The Atlas Complex by Olivie Blake

3.0

I have absolutely loved this series. Olivie Blake’s writing is nothing short of art with meticulous details and information at every turn. Every character is their own complete person, a universe in themselves. I could honestly read about each of them in their own separate books. After the end of TAP, I was wondering what would happen to all of the characters and how Blake would finish out the series. The audiobooks are works of art, so I highly recommend listening to them.

As for the final installment, I left feeling a bit disappointed. I felt like so much happened and yet nothing at all? I don’t really know if I can put it into words, but this book was just “okay” compared to the other two.

This book is fantastically bad, but some parts closer to the end did read sort of fine, like they were actually planned in advance unlike the rest of this bullshit, so it's not completely one star
Other than that I can't believe how bad it was even considering my low expectations from the previous two
Also, for fuck's sake, it doesn't need this many complicated words, some of the oh so ✨✨✨cool✨✨✨ and ✨✨✨smart✨✨✨ sentences that were made exclusively for fancy quotes don't even make sense and only make the text absolutely unnecessarily obscure
