I wanted to like this book, I really did, but as the story progressed, I felt as if the author was more concerned with the characters' cleverness than progressing a plot that feels as if it has enough momentum to carry me forward. The only catch is that one of them will have to die. The premise is as follows: Six magicians are invited to compete for a place within a secret organisation known as The Alexandrian Society, where they will have access to centuries of hoarded knowledge. But, I was curious about The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake, and the subject matter itself appealed to me enough for me to make grabby fingers a while back when the opportunity to read the novel presented itself.
It's a clear indication that a hype machine in some shape or form has been working in overdrive. I'm almost immediately wary whenever a novel is touted as a 'must-read TikTok sensation with over 11 million views'.
