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.

DNF at 10 % this isn't worth it for me I'm so bored. The premise is... interesting, but the execution is so slow-paced and dull, having six main characters and POVs introduced was a headache, especially in audiobook format. I didn't click with any of them. Maybe it gets more engaging down the line but when it comes to slow-paced books I need a hook or at least a feeling I might enjoy myself in time, but this was just flat. I wasn't tired before but I kinda want to take a nap now

Mmrhm.. great premise but the author doesn’t succeed in keeping it up. Parisa is the most annoying voice I have ever heard ever. Ridiculous how bad these Americans are at British and vice versa.

Very intriguing setup. I really loved most of this book and thought it will be an easy 5/5 stars. But it has to be said, I didn't love the ending - so I have to take away over star :( Still, I am excited to see where the story goes in the next book!

I found this book quite dull and boring. Maybe I am to old (?) for it. Last chapters were not too boring but it was still tough to listen through.

good narrators but the story itself was messy. the pacing was weird, there wasn’t really a plot or character development and there was a lot of telling and not showing

Trög i början, men under sista delen blir det mer plot och författaren går in mer på möjligheterna med världen.
