The Atlas Paradox: The Incredible Sequel to International Bestseller The Atlas Six (Atlas series)

The Atlas Paradox is the long-awaited sequel to Olivie Blake's New York Times bestselling dark academic sensation The Atlas Six—guaranteed to have even more yearning, backstabbing, betrayal, and chaos.

Six magicians were presented with the opportunity of a lifetime.

Five are now members of the Society.

Two paths lie before them.

All must pick a side.

Alliances will be tested, hearts will be broken, and The Society of Alexandrians will be revealed for what it is: a secret society with raw, world-changing power, headed by a man whose plans to change life as we know it are already under way.

"The Atlas Six introduced six of the most devious, talented, and flawed characters to ever find themselves in a magical library, and then sets them against one another in a series of stunning betrayals and reversals. As much a delicious contest of wit, will, and passion as it is of magic...half mystery, half puzzle, and wholly a delight."—Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author

I finally picked this back up!!

I finallyyyyy understood that i don't need plot if i enjoy the writing and if the characters are interesting enough. And Olivie Blake's The Atlas series does just that for me.
I don't even get that attached that much to the characters but i don't need too : I feel in on the joke in a way. The author's having fun and i can feel it and i in turn have fun too, with the writing, the characters.
Though i still read the first book ages ago, and picked this one back up after having read more than the first half a few months ago, it didn't keep me from enjoying the book at all.
I'm glad i annotated the shit out of my copy, so i can flip through it to get me back in the zone before the reading the last book of the trilogy!!

I'm going to leave you with the principal thought in my mind after reading this book, that a reviewer (their username is Tara) wrote as their review:
"manifesting libby x nico x gideon polyamorous triad yes"

Just like the first I have to read everybit of it and still let it just wash over me otherwise I'd get caught up in how stupid I feel. The emotional, global intricacies really pop off in the second installment of a great amount of world creation within our own reality.
I love the series and can't wait for more and to reread regularly.

I enjoyed this one a little less than the first but I would give it the same rating
