The Atlas Paradox

Excelente libro

Si sente che questo è il secondo libro di una trilogia: veramente lentissimo, si focalizza molto sulla psicologia dei personaggi ma a livello di trama succede poco o niente. Ci sono state tante cose che però ho apprezzato, in particolare l’evoluzione del personaggio di Libby e il rapporto che si viene a creare tra molti di loro. Il finale è illegale, e non posso credere che dovrò aspettare più di un anno per sapere cosa succederà!

The first book was really good. I loved the tension, the intrigue, the mystery, and so on but I just can't get through the second book. I started reading, quite eagerly, since the ending of the first book left you thirsting for the next. I don't know what happened since the first book, but this one is filled with endless introspection and overall thoughts. I can't seem to get through it and have skipped several pages, trying to get through.My boyfriend has read both books as well and says the first book was undoubtedly better and still enjoyed the second one as well. He says the middel and end were very good and he's curious about where things are going.

Olivie Blake’s writing is just ugh *chef’s kiss*. The vocabulary is so enrapturing. All of the characters are written so well and Blake does such a great job of capturing the characters’ inner dialogue. It really feels like you’re in their heads. I liked that there was more background revealed about some of the characters that you didn’t get to know as well in the first book. The shifting alliances between the group was also a nice refreshing change.One thing that did bother me is I felt like nothing of substance really happened for a huge part of this book and what did happen could have been summarized in 20 pages, which is why I didn’t rate it 5 stars. It seemed like all of the characters were stuck in limbo for a majority of the book and it got really tiresome. I think I was more excited for the second one than I am for the third unfortunately. Will I still be preordering the Atlas Complex? HELL yes 💕

The plot seemed erratic and yet many parts were forseeable. Wish the book would've been a bit more to the point and less drawn out. A decent sequel although not very satisfactory. I think the purpose of this book was to set a background for the next book. Ending the book with a scene that added shock value just did not feel enough. I'd love to see the dots connect in the next book.
