Summary
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.

I’m on the fence
I tried this first as an ebook and failed. I struggled so hard. Then with the thought to get through it I got the audiobook to see if that would help. It did, but only after I restarted the audiobook twice.
I get what the author was trying to do but the story dragged and the characters were annoying and for the most part, unlikeable.
The story only got interesting in the last two hours of the book. The narration was confusing at times with the various non explained foreign dialect as well as voice actors attempts at other characters when in their POV.

Disappointing
It was alright in the beginning but didn’t end up going anywhere for me. A bit slow and some of the characters were annoying.

If nothing else listen for the last couple of chapters and the end scenes!
It took me forever to finish this! I think I listened to like 5other books completely since starting this one! Some of it was boring some very cringey! I most enjoyed the few chapters and the end scenes (some shorts a bit like deleted scenes) I wish the book as a whole had more of the interactions those end scenes did. It made all characters more interesting and relatable. I will probably end up going for book 2 but not going to worry too much if I don’t read it.
The different narrator voices was great but there were a couple I didn’t enjoy listening to all that much. As always wishing you got a snippet of everyone in the sample so you know what you’re going in for.

Good story some awful voices
I struggled with the book. Not because of the story but because some of the voices were so irritating. Shame. Not sure I will follow up with the next as a result.

Conflicting impression
I have really conflicting feelings about this. I found the story interesting, and it definitely kept me in suspense, eager to know what happens next. And I personally think the multiple perspectives worked really well, with all the voice actors doing a great job. It does mean that each character has multiple different voices, but this didn't bother me. My problem with it? The characters are really quite awful, selfish people. They've almost no redeeming qualities. It makes it difficult to actually care about them. One is legitimately a psychopath, and that's never really properly addressed.
The story ends part way through. Undecided whether I'll listen to the next one.

Incredible Story!
Very well told! I particularly enjoyed the usage of multiple narrators to symbolise each character's thiughts and stories. Great plot, with lots of wonderful twists! I've already pre-ordered the sequel - can't wait!

Lost interest
I had high hopes for this book, but it didn't hold my attention. The storyline didn't convince me enough and the constant switching between narrators was annoying. By the time I got to the last few chapters, I had already checked out and was just waiting to move on to something else.
Maybe I'll listen to it again sometime and decide to move on to the next book, but not now.

overall just ok
Multiple narrators for a book in 3rd person really doesn't work. Story was interesting and had potential but could do with a little more action.

Terrible story, narration was not bad
Very pretentiously written, almost unbearable to get through. The characters were not at all compelling, and the plot had very little substance. It was a nice premise but poorly executed on.
The narration was as usual, I can’t recall anything particularly terrible nor spectacular about it.
