Olivie Blake
The Atlas Paradox is the long-awaited sequel to Olivie Blake's New York Times bestselling dark academic sensation The Atlas Six—guaranteed to have even more yearning, backstabbing, betrayal, and chaos.
Six magicians were presented with the opportunity of a lifetime.
Five are now members of the Society.
Two paths lay before them.
All must pick a side.
Alliances will be tested, hearts will be broken, and The Society of Alexandrians will be revealed for what it is: a secret society with raw, world-changing power, headed by a man whose plans to change life as we know it are already under way.
"The Atlas Six introduced six of the most devious, talented, and flawed characters to ever find themselves in a magical library, and then sets them against one another in a series of stunning betrayals and reversals. As much a delicious contest of wit, will, and passion as it is of magic...half mystery, half puzzle, and wholly a delight."—New York Times bestselling author Holly Black

Everybody continues to be extremely insufferable, except Nico (and Gideon, I guess). It's a little hard to get engaged at times when everybody is so Godawful All the Damn Time. Of the original 6 + 2 in the first book (the Atlas Six plus Atlas himself and Dalton), it's really only Nico (and occasionally Libby) that I felt any meager degree of sympathy for. The rest are terrible, terrible, terrible people.
As for the performance, it's...mostly fine. Nico, Libby, and Tristan's performers are good. Callum is mediocre. Reina and Ezra aren't great (Reina mostly for the Plant-Speak). Gideon is terrible. Parisa is absolutely unlistenable. I found myself physically wincing every time I heard the "Parisa" chapter announcement. Once I said, out loud, "Ah sh*t, here we go again." She delivers it in this hypersexualized breathy sort of way that is nails on the chalkboard of my soul. It's awful. It's especially terrible when she has to also do Atlas' voice as well.
One final note: Atlas Six had the different character POV chapters selectable from the chapter menu. This book does not. It, instead, has only the multi-hour Parts (Part I, Part II, etc.) to choose from. This made trying to revisit an earlier section a near impossibility. Zero stars for layout.
tl;dr slightly less good than the original.
Like 9 Insufferable People and Nico de Varona
