Now for the things that went wrong for me, and how ultimately I can't rate this more than a 1/5. In this 400-pages-book, around two thirds of them are essentially a guide of how powers work, but no real usage was seen throughout the plot (if there is, they were very, VERY vague.) It seems to be one of the main complains regarding TA6, so people who didn't like Book 1 because of its vagueness, will hate this. Too many academic topics, but too few explanations for how they might be relevant to the action of the story. In this book however, I can't even follow the new study topics introduced anymore. They show me that Blake knew what she was talking about and that she is passionate about it. In The Atlas Six, one of my favorite things was the academic discussions between the candidates. Throughout this book, I feel like Blake doesn't know what she wants to talk about anymore. Let's start where Olivie Blake objectively did wrong. This is my most anticipated release of the year (yes, surpassing even Babel, or The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution, how unfortunate) and now The Atlas Paradox is going to be in my least favorite books of the year. I sure hope that Olivie Blake plans to name the third book "The Atlas Redemption" and fixes this book or else this series will eternally rest in my wormhole of the forgotten series.Īllow me to quote Kaul Wen, expectations are a funny thing. Original review, probably contains mild spoilers from interpretation: I think I’ll enjoy a read of the text version after release to be able to savor the language a bit more.EDIT : Apparently we are in 2022 and people on Booktwt are still unable to respect people's opinions (in this case, mine), and I feel like I shouldn't laugh but I am? 😭 I listened to the audiobook for this, and while the narrative cast was great, I found it more difficult to track the character’s intentions and motivational complexities through audio. Shrouded in mystery and their own motives, the current society members start to unravel the motivations of the past.ĭiving back into the The Atlas world was as rich as I remembered. I also particularly found Dalton’s story to be fascinating as we learn more about the man in the castle. The magic builds from book one as each character continues in their fields of study.
Given Libby’s predicament we also get a bit of destiny which is always fun. Power continues to be a predominant theme throughout the story, power, and fate.
As the characters original motivations shift or evolve, we get a glimpse of what this journey into dark academia will do to each of them. The Atlas Paradox takes us into the year of independent study with the society. Published: October 25th 2022 by Tor Books We received an advanced reader copy of this book.
