A review by shelfportrait
The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

4.0

I love how Olivie Blake woves words together. It’s so intricate yet arresting. It’s my second book of hers. The first being Alone With You In The Ether. I feel like I get her writing style a bit more with this. Her books do not have a conventional plot. Of a problem and a resolution. The story is driven by the characters.You should not read her books waiting for things to happen. Nothing big is coming but you read more to find out more about the characters

It is not
“What is going to happen?”
But
“What is the character going to do?”

The banter and interactions between the characters are enough to keep me interested. The recruitment instantly drew me in. Without a doubt, there are no boring characters in her book. If you feel that , that character is boring… just wait.
