A review by scriptrix
The Complete Atopia Chronicles by Matthew Mather

2.0

Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to give up and DNF this. I got all the way through part 4 and started on part 5, but I'm finding myself skimming too much, and I have zero emotional investment in the characters. This could simply be because I don't feel I can relate to any of them; they all read as slightly tweaked versions of the same world-weary, self-destructive template, which isn't really a brainspace I like to inhabit. The worldbuilding is interesting, but without characters to give me stakes I care about, I'm unable to convince my brain to fully participate in it. :(
