"Oh. So it's like that?" Nico said.

"Yeah." It left Gideon in a rasp, but fuck it. It had lived in his throat long enough

"Good." Nico caught him by a fistful of his T-shirt tugging him in again. "Good."

[itseyaaaa]

why is no one is talking about this part in The Atlas Complex:

"Instead,Callum would simply have to look Tristan in the eye and say, as un-pathetically as possible, you don't have to choose me. Just know that it won't stop me from choosing you"

[onaloyveonce]

The lack of fanfiction for The Atlas Six is insane

THAT HIT DEEP

[notsofriendlyfriendlyreminder]

Here is my take on The Atlas trilogy characters after reading the first two books.

SPOILERS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Libby Rhodes - I find her type characters annoying, but omg I loved her in The Atlas Paradox, and while I ind Ezra interesting, you go girl kill his ass. Also I need more of her alone, mainly using her power alone, but I want to see that from both her and Nico, while they're both physicists, I think it would be cool to see even more differences between them.

Nico de Varona - I feel so bad for my man his boyfriend is being hunted and his girlfriend got kidnapped and his bestie is having god complex issues LMAO, no seriously love him, liked him in the first book, loved him even more in the second, him AND GIDEON love it. Also nearly cried when it was said how alone my guy is, he needs family and he will look for it no matter what

Reina Mori - her god complex is so fun yet so crazy to watch unfold, while she is on the side I think her inner monologue is very interesting to read. Not my favourite character, but she and Callum are imo a great duo, need more of them. She and Parisa should just kiss and be besties.

Parisa Kamali - An icon, a legend, gave us the spiciest scenes in the book so we love her for that. Her power and character is perfect, mainly her decline and her helping my boy Nico. Didn't care for her and Dalton that much (overall I didn't care for Dalton) BUT very excited to see more of true Dalton (The prince?) in book 3

Tristan Caine - GET YOUR FUCKING DADDY ISSUES IN CHECK PLS AND THANK YOU!!!! Jk I love all my bitches equally, but him getting so close to all male figures in his life... nope, him and Atlas could make an unstoppable duo but worry not! His gf is back :) Overall Tristan was always a very hit or miss character for me, can't put a finger on why.

Callum Nova - I love him, like forreal, he is my new obsession, he is absolutely hilarious, I love his energy, the shit he causes, he is there to just do shit and I live for it!! Also made me cry, and you know I love blonde bitches that make me cry (cough cough Howl). Overall I need to read more books about Callum Nova type characters, because yes please. Also dw you don't have to hide your hairline from me I will cure your alcohol addiction <333

Ezra Fowler - girlbossed too close to the sun, very interesting tho, but I love Libby more

Gideon - LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVEEEE pls stop talking to your mama

[hyperactive-cowboy]

Felt like doing some more <3

[happygirl2oo2]

Atlas really knew how to pick them huh lmao

[inspo, and also many thanks to @joseopher for brainstorming the gang's chosen slots with me 'cause it actually had a lot more thought going into it than y'all may think lol]

The Atlas Paradox Book Review

The Atlas Paradox

Author: Olivie Blake

Description: 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 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.

Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆

Review: Just like entropy, the Atlas series keeps expanding and growing, exponentially becoming better with each book. 

If compared with its predecessor, The Atlas Paradox is better in all the ways that count. The writing is noticeably more fitting, with paragraphs better formulated and more adapted to the reader’s experience. The characterisation and development of the core six is phenomenal, creating much more entertaining chapters and capturing the reader based solely on its curiosity for the people involved. It’s engrossing in a way The Atlas Six never managed to become. 

And despite the overall lack of plot in this book, the affinity Olivie Blake has to tap into unthinkable dynamics and making them absolutely incredible is remarkable. There’s palpable chemistry and hilarious banter littered all over the pages. Take for example Callum and Reina, who at first glance have nothing in common, turned out to be the best duo in the trilogy thus far. 

However, for all that it’s worth, the ending is quite disappointing in comparison to how well crafted the rest of the book is. Romantic moments aside, there’s nothing that ties the whole thing together in a high. In fact, there’s plenty of loose threads left. And frankly, it’s just plain boring. 

Apart from the unfortunately lacking ending, The Atlas Paradox reads as a treat for the lovers of The Atlas Six. It might not be a book for those who aren’t fond of the characters themselves, for those who only care about the academic parts or the mythos. But that doesn’t mean it is not a great book.

Tristan trying his literal hardest to be proud of Callum:

[alexandrarosa]

The Atlas Six feels like The Secret History but in a different font. And I don’t mean it in a good way.

“Dalton. Dalton. Dalton. He was as good as she wanted him to be, disastrously so. This was a torment she would seek again and again. The trauma of him was exquisite, the vice of his intimacy combative and honeyed. Oh, he was full of lies and secrets, only some of which he wanted to keep”.

Olivie Blake, The Altlas Six, p. 154.
