The Alexandrian Society, caretakers of lost knowledge from the greatest civilizations of antiquity, are the foremost secret society of magical academicians in the world. Those who earn a place among the Alexandrians will secure a life of wealth, power, and prestige beyond their wildest dreams, and each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to be considered for initiation. Enter the latest round of six: Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona, unwilling halves of an unfathomable whole, who exert uncanny control over every element of physicality. Reina Mori, a naturalist, who can intuit the language of life itself. Parisa Kamali, a telepath who can traverse the depths of the subconscious, navigating worlds inside the human mind. Callum Nova, an empath easily mistaken for a manipulative illusionist, who can influence the intimate workings of a person's inner self. Finally, there is Tristan Caine, who can see through illusions to a new structure of reality-an ability so rare that neither he nor his peers can fully grasp its implications. When the candidates are recruited by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they are told they will have one year to qualify for initiation, during which time they will be permitted preliminary access to the Society's archives and judged based on their contributions to various subjects of impossibility: time and space, luck and thought, life and death. Five, they are told, will be initiated. One will be eliminated. The six potential initiates will fight to survive the next year of their lives, and if they can prove themselves to be the best among their rivals, most of them will. Most of them.… (mais)

The better book of the series as it seems like she had a direction and plan. ( )

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The magic systems are quite complex and I was confused some of the time. Usually once I get confused I am quite put off but I felt like the complexity of each individuals powers and the fact that the characters themselves didn't understand them what actually the point.

The artwork throughout was quite cool and I liked seeing the depictions of the different main characters.

I'm really looking forward to reading book two. ( )

(Quick note to say that the version of this book I own and read is the earliest, self-published edition and not the new one. I still stand by my opinion but idk how much the two versions differ, so take from that what you will.)

"The Atlas Six" is the epitome of an interesting idea with quite poor execution. The entire premise and setup is deeply intriguing and had me super excited to read the book, but it was too bogged down with flaws to be truly enjoyable.

For starters, the magic system is vastly underexplained and left me confused. There is a lot of talk throughout the book about using magic and its limits, etc. but we as the reader never get a working idea of the bigger picture. It was also really difficult for me to care about a single one of the characters. It's like they were the Seven Dwarves, except instead of "Sneezy" or "Sleepy", each character could have just been named "Boring," "Immensely Irritating", "Obviously-Not-Important-to-The-Author", or "Literally Indistinguishable from That Other Boy" (for real, it took me halfway through the book to keep straight who Tristian and Callum were). Morally gray characters are one thing, but characters who have zero personality besides their magic, snark, and One Defining Character Trait just make for dry reading.

But maybe the biggest drag of "The Atlas Six" is that an ASTOUNDING amount of the book is taken up by everyone just hanging around and talking. Talking about what they can do, talking about which of the others they don't like, and...well, that's most of it. There is one big scene of action near the beginning, then a cool-ish plot twist revealed in the literal final two chapters, but aside from that there are just pages upon pages of characters sitting around talking or inner monologuing.

I guess I can see how some readers would enjoy this, but it's not for me at all. Hard pass on reading any further in the world of TAS. ( )

I wanted to like this. I really did, but it was not to be.
I made it to page 127, put it down for the night and it sat there for a day and a half. I just didn’t care enough about any of the characters to go back for more. So, DNF’d at 33%.
