reubenalbatross 's review for:
The Atlas Six
by Olivie Blake
DID NOT FINISH: 3%
I wanted to try this as I've seen quite a lot of discourse about it.
Bearing in mind I didn't make it very far through the book, the opening just seemed so juvenile and derivative and the 'conflicts' so contrived and predictable. I can sometimes enjoy YA books with this sort of writing style IF there is a plot line or something interesting to hold my attention, but this one had neither.
I also really didn't enjoy the first POV's narrator. Her voice grated on me and sounded childish, which just compounded the issues I have with the writing style.
