The Atlas Six
by Olivie Blake
To be honest I am still processing this book and I’ve been going back and forth on my feelings about it.
What I loved: The writing. The characters. I loved them so, so much - except Callum, which I think was the point, and I have mixed feelings on Atlas & Dalton but I think there's more to uncover there. Nico and Libby were my favorite, by far. I also loved the setting. A magical library/secret society? Dark academia vibes? Say no more! There's so many layers in the world & the story which means there's so much more to discover in a re-read.
What fell short: I was definitely expecting a little bit more to happen in the plot. This was very character-driven in my opinion. The ending was confusing and the reveal of the details of the elimination was not shocking at all (am I the only one who thinks this?). There were many points of the book where the academic discussions went a bit over my head, but I think it's because I was trying to read it too fast.
Overall, I’m giving this 4 stars because most of the book was super strong. I will definitely read the next one in the series. There were many points where I said to myself "I love this book" but also many points where I said "but do I?" If you choose to pick it up, which I encourage, I would recommend taking your time with it. I definitely think I would have enjoyed it more that way.
