Loved the book, though I didn’t fell in love with it as I did the first one.
It was a bit boring at times, for my taste anyway. The only thing that is nagging the hell out of me, is why Nico and Tristan didn’t go to Fowler and make him take her back. Or if I have misunderstood something about them not know Fowler a powers then why not see if Fowler really were a time traveler so they then could use him to get her back instead of hoping that she would make a nuclear bomb. I don’t know if I have missed something that would explain it since I heard it on audiobook, and was doing something while listening to it. So that may explain why. Otherwise I found the book kind of unnecessary since the plot was really meh. The characters were fantastic.that was also why I read it to the end. Loved all the characters- kind of. Liked the first book much better than this one though.

The Atlas Six opens - as so many trilogies do - with a compelling concept and a competent setup. Stuff happens, plot develops at a reasonable clip and we get a cliffhanger.
However, after that inevitable cliffhanger, we are left with this - hundreds of pages of… nothing. Our heroes do… nothing. For a year. We get to sit through a year’s worth of tangentially-related conversations between characters who have all fallen out for reasons that are not really explained and then the whole thing is wrapped up in the last couple of chapters. Cliffhanger resolved, the initiates submit their year of research - which is barely mentioned and we have no idea what conclusions they’ve drawn. Hopefully none of this research is leaned on as a deus ex in the third act. That would be poor form indeed.
This is all undoubtedly sold as “character development”, but I don’t really feel like I’m any better connected with the motivations or backgrounds of the characters than I was after book 1. I strongly suspect you could skip this book entirely, read book 3 and fill in the gaps.
