The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
3.0
Hi everyone!
I was on the fence with this book, cause people seems to either liked it or hated it.
In my case I enjoy the reading experience, but I’ll be honest: if you are not familiar with quantum theory, string theory, space bend, black holes and time as a dimension, as well as astral projection you will be lost and you’ll get bored really fast (most likely DNF the book) cause the book is based on those concepts (or at least our characters powers) but the author doesn’t stop to explain the different theories in details, so either you knew the concepts and you love how cleaver it sounds, or you don’t understand a single word or the meaning behind it.
On another hand I do want to read the sequel to this book, to know how everything ends; but wasn’t a fan of the “big plot” in the end. Is like you never saw that coming, but it was because there was not “building up” towards that point, like you cannot focus a book on 7 characters and out of no where make the story about other 2 characters that were not the focal point (or at least it didn’t work for me). If the last 25% of the book, was settled as the first 25% it will be more powerful and sensical from my perspective.
