The first two in The Atlas Trilogy were well written, interesting, and original. I'm not sure what happened with book three, but it really missed its mark.
I found The Atlas Complex redundant. Repetitive. Insufferable. Far too long for the little bit of story line that was involved. It could have easily been condensed into an epic duology, but instead, the plot was stretched impossibly thin to make it three.
Too many points of view. Too few captivating scenarios. Too many interludes. Too many chapters based on back and forth text messages serving no real purpose or advancement to the book. Too few plot twists. The writing felt dry and more like non-consequential ramblings than it did a story.
