A review by drkappitan
The Atlas Paradox by Olivie Blake

adventurous dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.25

I adored The Atlas Six and went into this sequel with a lot of expectations. The primary source of frustration for me, and the reason that I didn't enjoy much of the book,
was that most of the characters were so unhappy and frustrated with each other that that seeped out into the story itself as a whole. Whereas the first book was all about discovery, this was anger and refusal to communicate and far too few experiments with what their magic could really do.
I will probably eventually pick up the third, but it will be a while before I'll want to.
