I’m very bad at writing reviews for books(mainly cause it takes me months to finish them) but I fell in love with this one so I’ll try my best.
The overall reason I fell in love with this book is the writing. The way emotions are written in this book makes it one of my top five. The wording just really hit for me, the beginning chapter alone immediately made me obsessed.
The characters are so well thought out, Olivie really does a great job at portraying their desires and their personalities to the reader that you feel like you’ve met these people.
I’m a sucker for practical magic. In the world of the Atlas Six magic doesn’t just simply exist, magic uses the basic building blocks of our world and manipulates in some way. I will say I do get a bit lost when it’s explained in the book but besides the point it’s nice not having the author be like oh yea you know some people just be magical ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One last thing, I really like you're constantly learning new information whether that be about the characters or the universe there’s always something keeping you wanting for the next page.
Overall if you’re looking for a short character driven fiction book with magic, Atlas Six has toy covered.
Just wish there was more of the boy Gideon :(
