readerio 's review for:

The Atlas Paradox by Olivie Blake

DID NOT FINISH: 42%

---

Compared to the fast-moving first book, this book was dramatically slower with much more focus on character motivations than the actual plot (like the dream sequence of plays). The new direction of the series after the "world saving" reveal at the end of the first book was also not as interesting/grounded.

After reading the summary of the rest of the trilogy, I'm glad I didn't push myself to continue.
