DNF at 36%.
I really enjoyed the first book and thought we’d pick up well from where we left off. This was truly boring. Nothing was happening at all, and we continued to go through the monotony. Maybe this didn’t need to be a trilogy, especially if we’re just filling space with a book two just for the sake of filling space. I don’t think I’ll be picking this back up, I’d rather do literally anything else.

well. it isn't essentially a bad book, although we can all agree that olivie's writing kinda changed in this one. i liked the atlas six, and i truly hoped i'd find something significant enough in this second book that is still related to the plot between the atlas six and the atlas complex. in fact, it seems to me that the atlas paradox only acts as the bridge between the two books. solid enough to walk through, but rather forgettable in most parts. for all the (surprising) alteration coming from olivie's side, i admit i did enjoy some parts, especially when it dived deep into the relationship between each character.

I just don't like fantasy and didn't care for the characters or the plot

okay so i read this maybe more than a year after reading the 1st book and lemme tell you i remembered absolutely none of it. This leaves me torn because I both love and hate the sequel tendency to have extensive inner dialogue and monologuing to explain what happened in the first book. This book did not do that, which i probably needed to fully grasp what was happening. That being said, I feel like this book doesn't make any sense, but it's well written enough that you think that it doesn't make any sense because you're stupid, not just because it's poorly written. so like props to Olivie for that.
Also, they used the word 'entropy' a lot and I did not know what that was until reading this book. And even though it was Google, not the book, that defined the concep foe me i still feel like i should credit it a little bit for letting me walk away smarter.
Lastly, while I appreciate the gayness, it needs to be gayer. like I love the diversity of sexuality, but I just feel like they need to be gayer. Like the whole world domination plot line would make a lot more sense if they were just a little bit gayer.
