Half the time I never know what's going on but the multiple narrators once again made things easier to follow. 

It took me a bit to remember what had happened in the last book, but ultimately I enjoy the mind fuck this story brings.

Am still in denial about the next book in this series coming out at the start of NEXT YEAR I keep thinking I have a book set in this universe I can pick up and continue reading from :(( this lived up to the expectations of the first one. I’d say it was less plot driven (if that’s even possible) but loved how the characters developed - would love less Reina/Atlas/Ezra/Parisa and more Tristan/Nico/Callum/Libby in the future pls. Also the couples in these book give me whiplash. Bonus points (once again) to the lit character art. (4.5 stars)

"Olympus was empty and so was hell. The devils were all here, in this house"

Un delirio hermoso igual que el primero.

Tanto The Atlas Six como The Atlas Paradox se centran en el desarrollo de personajes. Y si TA6 se centró en la presentación de los personajes, el desarrollo de sus poderes, la explicación de su magia y elementos puramente físicos, The Atlas Paradox es un libro que se centra por encima de todo en la psiquis de los personajes.

Este libro venía recibiendo muchas reseñas mixtas por lo que entre con las expectativas bajisimas pero no saben la sorpresa que me llevé al encontrarme con una secuela a la altura de The atlas six.

En The Atlas Paradox vemos como todos los personajes entablan nuevas relaciones y terminan como aliados de las personas más inesperadas. Los personajes cambian, al igual que sus objetivos y el propio redescubrimiento de si mismos y de sus poderes.

En general me gustó mucho como todos los personajes brillan pero mis favoritos aca fueron Libby, Callum y Nico. Libby es un personaje del cual esperaba una cosa en particular y si bien la obtuve hacia el final del libro, su desarrollo a lo largo del libro hizo posible que su personaje se mantuviera fiel a lo que siempre fue, incluso con ese capítulo final que tuvo más sentido gracias a todo ese desarrollo.

A Callum lo odié en TA6 a pesar de que era uno de los puntos de vista que más disfrutaba pero en este libro me robó el aliento. Lo amé. Es la representación del meme "bebo y sé cosas". Sus reflexiones son cosa de otro mundo, meternos en su cabeza es algo que disfruté muchísimo. Me pareció brutal explorar acerca de la depresión que viene inherente a los poderes mentales como el de él y de Parisa.

Nico es un personaje que me encanta muchísimo, le agrega un tono súper único y particular a la historia, sobre todo sus puntos de vista que fueron los que más rápido devoraba.

No hay desarrollo de personaje que acá no me haya gustado, tanto Dalton, Reina, Parisa y Tristan me encantaron incluso con sus altos y bajos.


Amé The Atlas Six y tenía mucho miedo de que su secuela me decepcionara pero afortunadamente no fue así.

I loved the first book and I really enjoyed this book however the plot is quite complicated and hard to follow.

The first book at 5 narrators which is already a lot, but this book has 6-7. It can be frustrating because each character has their own plot and I found a lot of the chapters confusing or not interesting. 

I will still read the next book but the overall direction of the series is unclear to me, and I think that is a side effect of having too many characters.

On a positive note I do like the constant plot twist regarding who the characters bond with which provides some interest.
