This book is okay, but nothing special. The characters are broadly unlikeable and I'm unsure what the point of the book was meant to be, as the plot was introduced only at the end. In this regard, The Atlas Six has one of the least satisfying endings I've ever read, given that it essentially doesn't have one - none of the loose ends are tied up. A large portion of this book should've been taken out so the magic and the plot could take centre stage. Suffice to say, there are interesting elements to this book - but they aren't explored at all satisfactorily.
