turns out as soon as Libby started pursuing women romantically she became perfect to me
gideon and nico and their incredibly moving True Love TM just going on while all these other unhinged lunatics are doing their psychosexual power plays and “oh no are you triggered??” methods of foreplay is so fucking funny but also GOD they are also unwell how was this relationship ever platonic who DOES THIS their cringe love was so moving it literally SAVED GIDEON’S LIFE bc even PARISA was moved… they are Everything
meanwhile callum is a psychopath but psych actually he has feelings… but also don’t worry he’s still a fucking dick. tristan is sooo angry both over not having killed callum and also because he’s not having sex with him either to the point that he is so insane and keeps accidentally trauma dumping on nico who is just like ah oh man uh. that’s :/// like what a hilarious friendship for this book to explore I hope they have godawful gay couple double dates someday.
also died at callum being torn between his desire to slit tristan’s throat and to put a flower crown in his hair (not me being cute THAT IS THE TEXTUAL DESIRE). parisa and dalton continue to thrill me. reina in her “I am literally a god now” era. I know the physics here is likely unhinged and wrong but ngl I enjoyed it like yeah this is science…. This is how it is…. elin with her incredible lesbian game for 1990 and also congrats for being the first character in this book series to actually have unshakable moral principles
I only have one complaint and that is HOW was there a BALL scene and we barely saw it I want to know what atlas put on that playlist
these books are masterpieces we are SO back

I don't get why this series is so popular? Because nothing happens in these books. At least this one had one storyline (Libby's) that was interesting, but it still wasn't great. I feel like it's just people sitting around talking to each other.
And don't even get me started on the relationships in this book. I feel like everyone was into everyone and I can't get on board with any relationship because it switches around so much.
Why am I reading the third? I don't know. I guess I want to see what happens with Libby.

I genuinely couldn't tell you if I love or hate these books.
I didn't necessarily feel inclined to read the sequel.....but then The Atlas Six stuck in my head rent free, and I suddenly had to.
I have a lot of the same feelings with this as I did with the first book. It has great dark academia vibes and some truly pretty passages and moments where you get deep, ugly, gorgeous insight in the characters.
Then you have to drag yourself through the next hundred pages where nothing seems to happen. And once again, I feel all of the action was saved for the last quarter of the book, combusting in a rush after I trudged through the first 3/4.
It's actually confusing to me how I can be so into these books in one moment and bored to tears and/or completely confused as to what's supposed to be happening the next. But hey. I guess they have my attention all the same.
