The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
3.0
4.5 Stars*
“The problem with knowledge, is its inexhaustible craving. the more of it you have, the less you feel you know”
The Alexandrian Society is an exclusive society with brilliant academicians. Every decade, 6 of the most talented and brilliant magicians have the chance to earn their spot in the society. They spend a year together and are judged based off their academic contributions. 5 are initiated, 1 is eliminated.
Give me dark academia and I will bury myself in it. I’m normally not one for fantasy and can be extremely picky when it comes to that genre. Magical realism, I can handle, and when done right, as Blake did, I will devour a book up in a matter of a day or two. The characters in the story are complex and multilayered. Just when I thought I figured one of them out, their story twists, forcing me to reevaluate my previous opinions. Blake includes philosophical discussions and science theories that force you to questions your own existential thoughts.
Immaculate vibes. GAY. Powerful. Brilliant. Smut. Existentialism. I SWOONED over this book.
Lover of dark academia, this is must read. Non lovers of dark academia, this is a must read. This is a ‘step outside of your comfort zone and get lost in something new’ type of read.
I have high hopes and expectations for The Atlas Paradox!
“A flaw of humanity,” said Parisa, shrugging. “The compulsion to be unique, which is at war with the desire to belong to a single identifiable sameness.”
