The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

dark mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

this premise seems to be catered to me specifically (magic/science intersection, a promise of intense philosophical debates, the desire/greed for knowledge being a major motivation, morally grey characters, sophisticated prose, setting is THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA??) yet the execution left Much to be desired. it ended up feeling like an early draft of a book that could be a masterpiece with more editing. was still a fun read though, i am curious to see what happens next considering everything in this book seemed to primarily serve as preparation for its successors. 

overall, mid.
