The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake is the runaway TikTok must-listen fantasy novel of the year, read by a full cast of narrators. If you loved Ninth House and A Deadly Education, you’ll love this.

Secrets. Betrayal. Seduction.
Welcome to the Alexandrian Society.

When the world’s best magicians are offered an extraordinary opportunity, saying yes is easy. Each could join the secretive Alexandrian Society, whose custodians guard lost knowledge from ancient civilizations. Their members enjoy a lifetime of power and prestige. Yet each decade, only six practitioners are invited – to fill five places.

Contenders Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona are inseparable enemies, cosmologists who can control matter with their minds. Parisa Kamali is a telepath, who sees the mind’s deepest secrets. Reina Mori is a naturalist who can perceive and understand the flow of life itself. And Callum Nova is an empath, who can manipulate the desires of others. Finally there’s Tristan Caine, whose powers mystify even himself.

Following recruitment by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they travel to the Society’s London headquarters. Here, each must study and innovate within esoteric subject areas. And if they can prove themselves, over the course of a year, they’ll survive. Most of them.

The story continues in The Atlas Paradox, the heart-stopping sequel.

Opinie krytyków

Lethally smart. Filled with a cast of brilliantly realized characters, each entangled with one another in torturously delicious ways, The Atlas Six will grip you by the throat and refuse to let go. Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent (Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights)
The Atlas Six introduces 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, this book is half mystery, half puzzle, and wholly a delight (Holly Black)
Compelling, entertaining, and addictive. This is academic Darwinism – survival of the smartest (T. L. Huchu)
With a fascinating magic system explored through the lens of philosophy and morality, narrated by dynamic, enthralling characters, The Atlas Six is a tour de force. I read this book in two sittings – once I picked it up, I found it almost impossible to put down (Christine Lynn Herman)
This chilling story of ambition and magic will make you question your own morals as you grow to love (and hate) its fascinating, ruthless cast of characters. I utterly devoured this book (Amanda Foody)
The Atlas Six will thrill those who love twisted plots, twisted relationships, and morally grey characters ready to kill for knowledge and power. Dark, ambitious, and engaging (H. G. Parry)
With a cast of complicated hate-to-love-them characters and enough delicious philosophizing to satisfy even the pickiest dark academia heart, this book will drag you into its undertow and refuse to let you go 'til morning (Victoria Lee)
Coolly horrific, brilliantly brainy and utterly compelling (Daily Mail)
Dense with ideas, with a compelling premise . . . a richly satisfying head-trip (SFX Magazine)
This audiobook includes newly revised and expanded material that is fully realized by a talented ensemble of narrators, including Steve West (Callum Nova), Caitlin Kelly (Libby Rhodes), and David Monteith (Tristan Caine). Six exceptional individuals are recruited by the enigmatic Atlas Blakely to join the Alexandrian Society, an exclusive, powerful organization focused on arcane and esoteric knowledge. Hearing the prospective initiates from alternating points of view as the competition unfolds between the candidates adds layers and nuance to their tenuous alliances.

I actually kept circling back to this book over and over before I actually decided I would give it a go. It sounded interesting enough, but not enticing.
So I gave it a go. The beginning is a bit slow. A few characters are a bit annoying/hard to like, but other characters sort of make up for it by being quite interesting.
Important to know is, that you need a bit of time to warm up to the book. Give it an extensive amount of time to really grab you.
Also: keep an open mind about the characters.
I know this all sounds weird as I have the book 5 stars, but bear with me on this one.
After thinking this book would simply just use up a bit of spare time, it quickly morphed into something else entirely. I began to love it. The characters began to grow on me (except two of them) and the story began to really grow a body. It became more and more detailed, alive and it kept you hooked.
Very fun book with a few good plot twists to keep you on your toes when you least expect it.
The way it’s done with different speakers is also simply perfection. It brings the story to life so nicely, that I could not imagine it without.
Would definitely recommend.

Not what I had expected.

The story is okay-not as amazing as people have been saying, but interesting enough. The book ends on not one, but several cliffhangers, but the biggest issue are the narrators.

There are several, one for each POV character. None are amazing, but most are okay. Two are really bad. Stressing sentences incorrectly, running things together so it's hard to follow who's speaking in a dialog, and/or just grating and annoying at times.

I would have enjoyed this much more with better narrators. (Or evert just one, if they were good.)

Some bad readers

I had read the book before and wanted to listen to it as a reminder, before reading the second book. Well, i should have just stuck to reading it myself. Did not enjoy the narrators‘ voices at all - however, I know that that’s highly subjective so you might like them. I found Libby‘s voice actor was the best because it was neutral. Tristan’s actor on the other hand was horrendous. It made me skip all the Tristan chapters. The story is good but I would only recommend listening to the audiobook if you’ve already read the book before - that way you can skip some of the more annoying voices.

Meh

This isn’t a literary masterpiece, it also isn’t terrible.
It was a fun story to hear, I really enjoyed the actors‘ performance. There are lots of questions left unanswered but I hope the second book will answer them and will explore the characters personalities more.

It’s a fun story

The story is entertaining enough if you ran out of things to do on a weekend, but some of the voice actors are just not great. it’s not the accent that bothers me but the unnatural intonation and weird emphasis on random words. One listener recommended reading the book and skipping some of the chapters, which sounds like a decent enough idea to me but I didn’t read them so… meh

Really hard on the ears
