The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake is the runaway TikTok must-listen fantasy novel of the year, read by a full cast of narrators. If you loved Ninth House and A Deadly Education, you’ll love this.
Secrets. Betrayal. Seduction. Welcome to the Alexandrian Society.
When the world’s best magicians are offered an extraordinary opportunity, saying yes is easy. Each could join the secretive Alexandrian Society, whose custodians guard lost knowledge from ancient civilizations. Their members enjoy a lifetime of power and prestige. Yet each decade, only six practitioners are invited – to fill five places.
Contenders Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona are inseparable enemies, cosmologists who can control matter with their minds. Parisa Kamali is a telepath, who sees the mind’s deepest secrets. Reina Mori is a naturalist who can perceive and understand the flow of life itself. And Callum Nova is an empath, who can manipulate the desires of others. Finally there’s Tristan Caine, whose powers mystify even himself.
Following recruitment by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they travel to the Society’s London headquarters. Here, each must study and innovate within esoteric subject areas. And if they can prove themselves, over the course of a year, they’ll survive. Most of them.
The story continues in The Atlas Paradox, the heart-stopping sequel.
‘Great plot, with lots of wonderful twists! I've already pre-ordered the sequel’ – Listener Review
‘Just wow! The use of words... the thought going into every phrase... the writing in itself is just magical. And... the narrators are brilliant too.' – Listener Review
‘An amazing book by a ridiculously talented writer’ – Listener Review
Originally a self-published sensation, this edition has been fully edited and revised. Now includes the short story Sacred Hospitality.

Starter med en sutrende POV og for mye eksposisjon. Kom ikke særlig langt.

Krevde full konsentrasjon hele tiden, grunnet raske endringer i hva som skjer. Opplevde det litt forvirrende med endrende inn lesere og opplevde det som tidvis vanskelig å følge hvem karakter og del av historien jeg fulgte. Sammen satt karakter liste. Føler at siste halvdel av boken tok seg opp og fanget oppmerksomheten min lettere. Vil absolutt lese neste bok for å se hvor det ender.

Kan minne om en Harry Potter-bok, men for voksne. Hvis sci-fi er en sjanger for deg, så anbefaler jeg absolutt denne boka!

Denne boken (og serien) er noe av det beste jeg noengang har lest. Jeg leser nå bok en og to om igjen i vente på bok tre, og de er like bra (om ikke bedre) andre gang. Dette er en serie med flere sterke karakterer og godt gjennomført world building som fort kan bli overveldende for folk som er ny i verden av hard fantasy. Men når man har prøvd det noen ganger kan man virkelig sette pris på hvor grundig utført denne boken er. Nå som jeg leste den for andre gang hadde jeg mer overskudd til å legge merke til detaljer, noe som for meg gjorde boken enda bedre enn jeg husket den. Kan ikke vente på bok tre!!

Very slow paced and boring. TMI about all the wrong things and nothing about the interesting things. DNF half way through.
