I always love a multi-POV story, especially when we've got multiple narrators to help differentiate the characters. I loved the dark academia vibe, the magic system felt unique (even though I don't feel like I entirely understand it), and each character brings an interesting layer the story.

The ending surprised me, and I'm definitely looking forward to continuing the series.

I don't know how to explain it, but this absolutely captivated me. One of my favorites!

Parisa Kamali can have my mind, body and soul.

a pretentious dark-academia fantasy.

But damn, so am I: 4.5 stars.

4.5 stars - Wow. I feel like I don’t even know what to say! Before going into The Atlas Six I had heard the writing was pretentious and I feel like that is something to be aware of before you pick it up. Be prepared to not understand some of the vocabulary and be prepared for some of the magic system to fly over your head. I had such a fun time reading this despite how clearly, the author is way smarter than me (lol!). The characters are intriguing because they all have selfish motivations while being in an environment where they have to work together. I thought the philosophy discussed in the novel was thought provoking and added to the experience. Definitely a book I would recommend, but only if you’re willing to be fully immersed in the world of academia.

Thank you to Edelweiss for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Had so much potential, plot was alright, world was good, but the ending was so.... underwhelming? I understand its a trilogy so the author probably thought to leave something f9r the next book. But i think every book thats part of a series should still have the ability to stand alone.
