Best read yet this year?! I loved how The Atlas Six lets philosophy, physics, and desire braid together until every page feels like a quiet duel.  The six “initiates” are sharp and arrogant, but each carries a loneliness that made me care as much about their cracks as their powers.  Olivie Blake keeps the plot humming while still pausing for those head-tilting meditations on time, memory, and the limits of knowledge - little moments that feel almost like essays tucked inside a thriller.

Mir kommt es so vor, als ob dieses Buch nur auf einen folgenden Band vorbereiten soll. Dafür das es character driven ist gab es kaum character development. Auch das world Building fand ich bis jetzt eher mittelmäßig und so richtig dahinter kommt man auch nicht (
die Alexandrinische Gesellschaft ist bis auf ihren Namen und Atlas als zentrale Person nicht weiter konkretisiert und auch das Zusammenleben magischer und nicht magischer Menschen oder Wesen wird nicht vertieft. Vielleicht soll das ja auch den Leser für den nächsten Band dran halten, aber ich Leser jetzt eher aus Prinzip weiter

This novel is is the first in the Atlas Complex trilogy.

The prestigious Alexandrian Society has selected their six initiates for their extraordinary magical ability.

These six lead by their mentor Atlas Blakely begin to explore the limits of their powers to earn their place within the society. At the end of the year, five of the six will be initiated into the society.

Full of rich character development, mystery and a well thought out magical system.
