Enjoyed this way more the second time I read it. It is a filler, but in a way that it could somehow stand on its own. I think this trilogy tends to go deep into theories, thoughts, very academic of sorts which can feel very pretentious, however that's my vibe, I like it. The thing with The Atlas Six is I like the vibe and tone so much that I don't really care much for what's happening, I'm still enjoying it. This sequel solidified some characters, gave meaning to new : Libby's character arc, Belen (

Can't believe she's dead, she actually added so much value to this book

). Something was definitely missing from the first book, I can't pinpoint why, but if you like Olivie's writing style, you'll like this book. I'm kind of terrified for The Atlas Complex now (give me Tristan and Libby, that's all I ask)
