Über diesen Titel
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.
Originally a self-published sensation, this edition has been fully edited and revised. Now includes the short story Sacred Hospitality.
©2022 Macmillan Audio (P)2022 Macmillan Publishers International LimitedThere 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

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

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.

When the timer says "still about one hour to go" and the listener hopes that all of this makes some exciting sense in the end, the book as such ends and you are offered to listen to a short story from the author. Of course, this book is intended to have a sequel or being built into a multivolumed piece, but ending a book literally mid-story (feels like mid-sentence) feels like a disregard to the listener.

The story sadly didn’t excite me that much. It took me half the book to get into the story. I read it first and didn’t feel like finishing, which is why I listened to the rest as an audiobook.
Just okay

There were so many voice actors cast for this one book. But instead of each speaker reading their characters lines, each voice actor reads our a chapter.
This a good example of too many resources and not enough planning, which has really botched this audiobook.
It's a shame as the story seems interesting. I will be getting a refund and will just read it instead and for any following sequels as well.
