The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

5.0

“We are the gods of our own universes, aren't we? Destructive ones.”

I really don't know how I am supposed to read another book again. Like, seriously. This book has everything.

A group of six extraordinarily gifted magicians are made an offer they can't refuse: to be caretakers of the lost Alexandrian Library. However, there is a catch. While six are selected, only five can be initiated. As the six grow more intertwined with one another and break the laws of magic, making their own, they learn that not everything is as it seems.

I kept hearing about this on Book Twitter, and I was very skeptical because hyped books don't always live up to my expectations. I'm thrilled to announce I was proven dead wrong. This book is literally amazing. I laughed out loud at some parts, and at other parts I wanted to throw it off my balcony (I live on the fifth floor, too, so this would've done some damage). This is one of the most well-crafted books I've ever read. Every scene was enchanting, every character was so different and layered, and the relationships were incredibly complex. I do not have a single criticism about this book.
