A review by dumbidiotenergy
The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
ignoring the ridiculous names, the vague “explanations” of magic, and the sometimes nonsensical schemes of the main characters, this was a pretty solid book. Blake obviously set out to create complex, multifaceted characters that the reader hates but grows to love. i think she succeeded, but only partly— by the book’s end, the characters are intriguing but not redeemed, which is an excellent way to get me to read the next book in the series (which i’ve just placed a hold on at my local library for).
i don’t want to dedicate that much brainpower to this review, because this book was just sort of… middle-of-the-road. enjoyable, and at times un-put-down-able, yet at other times my eyes rolled so hard i thought they’d pop out. the characters are much, much more engaging than the plot— and for that reason, because i *want* to see more of the titular Atlas Six, i will continue with the series.
