I'll start with saying that I absolutely loved The Atlas Six and I need more! I was so happy to see that the next part will be published this year. It's only 223 days left (as of today) and I feel like I want to count them down every single day.
The story itself is captivating. Six extremely talented magicians are selected every decade to join exclusive Society which keeps Alexandrian Library resources safe. They gain unrestricted access to the best knowledge source possible... but only five of them can be initiated. The sixth's one needs to be eliminated at the end of the year.
The background and talents of each person are fascinating. Clearly if they're going to work together, they can achieve more than anyone in the history of human kind did... but what would be the consequences? And what this Society actually do? Their practices, rituals and secrecy... what started like a brilliant idea, very quickly turns into something much darker...
Not only the entire book is brilliant! I adored the writing style. I found it engaging and polished to the last detail. I felt that every single word is where it should be and everything is so well thought through from the linguistic perspective.
Ok, now only 223 days to go until The Atlas Paradox is released...
