literaryrachael 's review for:
The Atlas Paradox
by Olivie Blake
No plot just vibes (affectionate). I love how character-centered this book is! Even the characters you hate, you can't help but love! Speaking of the characters:
- Libby's character arc was such a girlboss slay! She was literally put through hell by someone she deeply trusted, so who could fault her for prioritizing herself for once. Belen was done so dirty and contrasting her arc with Libby's gives their dynamic a lot of complexity.
- I love how Nico and Tristan (Libby's two closest friends/love interests/character foils) took over Libby's role, becoming the resident hyper-worrying overachievers.
- The Parisa/Dalton side-quest was interesting. I can't wait to see how the new Parisa/Dalton dynamic will change the trajectory of the plot in the third book.
- The Reina/Callum side-quest was probably the least interesting, but I liked the new insight that we got into Callum.
- Ezra is my enemy for life.
I know that this series isn't really meant to be a romance, and yet my life has been irreparably changed by Nico/Gideon and Tristan/Libby. The fact that Tristan/Callum will probably never come to fruition (on account of the whole murder scheme) makes me so sad.
I know I'll probably end up being in the minority, but I liked The Atlas Paradox more than The Atlas Six. I like how the characters spread out a little more, which gave them time to grow and change and go on side quests and learn new things about the world.
