The Atlas Paradox (Atlas Series, 2)
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

My book came printed upside down and the customer support agent Philip told me “what do you suggest we do about it? :)” and that I had 8 days to return it even if I just received it…

I haven’t read it yet, but I’m sure I will love it! The issue here is that the books are so beautiful but the cover on mine is messed up. It really sucks because I don’t want to display this one as I do with the first. The gold is scratched off in places. Update: I’ve had to reorder twice so I think there is a quality issue.

Encapsulating! I love the plot and all the concepts behind the magic. I'm really excited to see what happens next!

Once again I’ve been left starving for more, but that is her way. Not sure why I thought this would be the last, but I’ll be waiting with bated breath for her next foray into the Alexandrians.

Okay so.... I'm not going to lie, the first 45-50% of this book had me so confused, wondering what the hell was going on and what was the point of all this information. Welp..... there was a point and holy smokes.. The attention to detail was superb. the smallest detail is something you need to keep tucked in the back of your mind because its coming later, sometimes subtley and sometimes in your face. This is a book you really, really need to pay attention to. The writing is phenomenal and just like book 1, it's intellectual and philosophical. Overall this book did not disappoint. I did enjoy book 1 more for the holy cow, omg what?! factor but this was still a great read that contained a few holy shite, yessssss moments. I'm still excited to continue this series and see where their stories go in book 3.
