i really need to stop reading booktok books
#the atlas six… what the fuck was that#the pacing felt super off#it was really hard to tell what the hell was going on and yet nothing fucking happened!!#i liked some of the characters libby and gideon were enjoyable and nico was pretty good too#but parisa and callum were exhausting tristan was boring and reina didn’t fucking do anything#reina pisses me off the most because i did like her character as a concept but then she just. spent 500 pages doing fuck all#and having zero development or exploration of her character#having a character who didn’t care about her power could have been so much more interesting than the way this book chose to handle it#just because she can’t really use her power the way the others can doesn’t mean she shouldn’t actually affect the plot for the entire story#it’s just a waste of her as a character. anyway#i would have been 1000% more interested in a story about gideon nico and libby and the entirety of the alexandria plot being dropped#because gideon was hands down my favourite character in this book and libby and nico would be far more interesting#if we didn’t have four extra characters to bother about#booktok books have a tendency to contain lots of fancy prose and ‘clever’ twists#while having literally the worst plot you have ever read and characters that are just plain bad and boring#oh and the setting and worldbuilding was awful too#how does magic integrate with the regular world? is it commonplace? there’s magic universities but are they secret? i have no fucking idea!#there was a mention of magic being used to help fix environmental issues which politicians know about#but is this common knowledge? no idea!!#there’s merpeople and other magical people who don’t get assistance from the state but it that because the state doesn’t know they exist??#it’s just bad worldbuilding i’m sorry#okay. i’m done. sleeping now#morganposting
