A review by charliauthor
The Atlas Paradox by Olivie Blake
Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.
DNF at 38% because im clearly not intelligent enough for this.
What was interesting and clever about book 1 just became repetitive and confusing in this one with no obvious reason why any of this was taking place. I listened to this and while I was influenced by the narrator for Parisa and her irritating voice, there was just nothing else of substance to keep me invested.
I quite like Parisa in the beginning but she just became even more of a mean bitch the longer i listened to her and there wasnt any real reason why. Yes, coping mechanisms or whatever but there was just no need to be this way endlessly if it didnt serve a purpose to the story or her powers etc.
Lets not even get started on the powers because she doesnt really explain any of them. Yes, we had explanations in book one but where was the growth of those powers. How were they used day to day, offensively, defensively. It was all just very vague and i was just over it.
