2.5 stars if we‘re being generous…
the plot was a whole lot of nothing, this book could‘ve been 300 pages shorter and literally nothing would be missing. libby‘s chapters were probably the most interesting but they still weren‘t exciting enough to make up for the rest…

I’m ok with a character-driven book in a series where the plot takes a back seat, but The Atlas Paradox is really missing both. It never finds its purpose, with only the last few pages being interesting. It’s essentially a filler book masquerading as one-third of a trilogy. I really like Olivie Blake’s writing style and she does a good job of putting you in the mindset of her unique characters, but there just wasn’t enough substance to make what those interesting characters were doing worth reading about. A bummer follow-up to The Atlas Six, which I really enjoyed.
