The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 57%.
I had trouble connecting with the characters which made it difficult to follow all six POV's. Also, at over 50% I had hoped for more plot but so far it was more a character study and an examination of how differing people may react when placed under stress in close proximity to each other. Might be worth coming back to if I hear good things about the second but I won't prioritize it.

I didn't realize this is nonfiction. Too much of an info dump but I may revisit on audio another time.

Just not engaging enough to hold my interest. Not horrible, not great... just meh.
