This was SO GOOD. It's quite a chunky book and so I took some points as it was quite leisurely pace wise at points, but overall gripped me very quickly. Another excellent example of how to do multiple perspectives well, I really enjoyed the characterisation throughout.
The exploration of magic felt so unique and interesting, I was impressed by how the author was able to balance so many specific types without it all becoming a muddled mess. I like how all the characters are flawed, they felt realistic (though very dramatic, but that's allowed as this is a book and not real life).
The twists were really good! Clues were artfully placed and the plot was very interesting, there were so many aspects that grew slowly in the background and then cropped up fully formed unexpectedly. I really loved the tone of the writing too, super easy to read and a satisfying and clever narration. Really good!!!! Finding a good uniqu fantasy series can be so difficult, I'm excited to make my way through these.

Really enjoyed this read. If you like the first few page upon opening it, then the writing style and clever dialogue is consistent throughout so you will likely enjoy the rest of the book. If you like sassy characters, written well, unpredictable plot twists that make sense in hindsight, multiple POVs, flawed characters that aren’t given to you on a plate of like or dislike, this is a good read for you.
The magic mechanism, in my opinion, could do with a little more TLC but the rest of the writing carries it nicely otherwise.
Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

The Atlas Six takes an international group of young adults and situates them in a pseudo-hunger-games magical 'fellowship'. Generally, I think the premise is exciting and there was a lot of 'oooh mystery' moments. However, the first 2 thirds of the book are SO much slower than the final third of the book. The last 100 pages were 10/10 for characters, plot, suspense, everything. The first 200 were a bit... 'eh, nothing special'.
Although it was a bit of a slog to begin with, the conclusion to the book definitely left nothing to be desired and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it's overall done a good job of setting up the world and the sequel should (hopefully) have much better pacing.

This took me way too long to find motivation to read it, and the only reason I finally did was because the audiobook was created and made available. The audiobook didn't perfectly sync with this version of the book but overall it was close enough. I did buy this book initially but I don't think I'll keep it, probably will donate it to a local library or put it in a little free library.
I think the beginning was overall sort of slow and eventually picked up as things really started to happen. For me, there was a bit that could've been cut to make the story move along faster.
I like the characters a lot and generally like the premise. Probs one of my favorite dark academia books I've read so far (I've read a few and don't usually really like them that much with an exception or two). I will def continue the series because I'd like to know what happens to the characters. Honestly I don't think I would continue the series without audio assistance tho
