el libro no me parecio malo. Es lo suficientemente entretenido, aunque si falto mucha conexion y contexto sobre el mundo que se trabajaba dentro de la historia pues todo el libro inicio como si ya esto fuera un tema lo suficientemente obvio como para no abordarlo. Por otro lado los personajes daban un poco la misma, no eran malos, pero si les faltaba mas caracterizacion y aunque ma historia es entretenida y tiene un punto de partida interesante, si falto un poco mas de accion en general

Finished it but honestly idk!!
Maybe I need to be into philosophy and physics but I was confused for a lot of the dialogue.
The last half of the book was good I felt the plot wrapping up but the ending was underwhelming

olivie blake has a way with words in the sense that she can make simple concepts seem complicated and that can either be good or bad.
my first language is spanish which is why i had lots of difficulty understanding what was going on in the first half of the book since that's when the magical theories and the magic system are sorta explained. i would've liked more elaboration on the magical powers each character had but sadly the atlas six is mostly character driven (and i usually prefer character driven books but yeah i just needed a bit more world building this time.)
the time travel concept was written quite well if i'm being honest. i'm not usually a fan of time travel in general but it was sorta easy to understand (i only say sorta because english is not my first language so i was having to take breaks between reading to look up words.)
the characters were written BEAUTIFULLY. like i mentioned before, this is a character driven book so we see their worries and their vulnerable sides quite often. without spoiling the book, we also see them start doubting each other, themselves and the society. it's very interesting seeing how they deal with their problems as characters with magical powers because they can easily get whatever they want but because that's too easy they find it boring and decide not to do that.
if you're wanting to check out fantasy books, i would NOT recommend starting with this one since olivie does tend to leave things unsaid and you can easily get bored of reading. however, if you're a regular fantasy reader and you want something interesting, definitely check this book out !!!!
some concepts were drawn out a bit too much but i get that olivie is setting everything up for the sequel. just keep that in mind if you do decide to read it.

Ogólnie mówiąc książka ta to przedstawienie słabego zakończenia, niezwykle nudnej historii, z niezwykle irytującymi(nie w ten dobry sposób) bohaterami. Plus fakt, że akcja rozwijała się przez jakieś 300 stron nie pomaga tej książce. Mimo to wydaje mi się, że jeżeli ktoś polubi głównych bohaterów, to może się ta historia mu spodobać, choć tak jak już wspominałam, to może okazać się trudne, biorąc pod uwagę to jak irytująca i po prostu głupia jest cześć tych bohaterów.

i deeply enjoyed how the characters were written and how science and magic intertwined to craft the magic system of this world (it did make me feel stupid in some parts).
however, i wish the plot took a faster pace than how it was laid out in the book and i wish there were more major moments like the installation where it shows how the six are able to work together. being the strongest in the world, i wish i was able to see more of their strength as a collective.
the first and final quarter of the book really got me hooked, but the middle was kind of riddled with too many abstract concepts that i cannot wrap my head around as of yet. i am aware that this is only the first book out of three so i hope the rest of the books are able to utilise these characters better as i am still intrigued by the direction of the plot.
