The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
5.0
This book was a LOT. In a great and possibly overwhelming way.
I'm a huge fan of dual POV in books, and Atlas Six has a whopping SIX perspectives. As is the case with most multi-perspective stories it took me a while to really get a hang of each character, and of course had some perspectives I loved and others I may not have liked as much. All the characters had well developed personalities and motives, and it was great to learn about all of the intricacies of their magical abilities and how it has affected their lives.
This book takes place in an magical academic secret society, with the six characters going through an initiation process where only five will be able to continue into roles within the society. Throughout this the characters are faced with many types of magic and deception that even some characters powers can't see through.
This was my first book of Olivie Blake's that I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to read Atlas Paradox to find out what happens to the characters next. The way Blake writes is both poetic and intelligent, definitely seems like a writer to keep an eye on as her books shape contemporary novels.
AGE: Adult
GENRE: Fantasy, Dark Academia, Contemporary, Adult Fiction, Magic, Science Fiction
