Review:
Myth: 4/5
The Atlas Paradox takes us into the year of independent study with the society. As the characters original motivations shift or evolve, we get a glimpse of what this journey into dark academia will do to each of them. Power continues to be a predominant theme throughout the story, power, and fate. Given Libby’s predicament we also get a bit of destiny which is always fun.
Magic: 4/5
The magic builds from book one as each character continues in their fields of study. I also particularly found Dalton’s story to be fascinating as we learn more about the man in the castle. Shrouded in mystery and their own motives, the current society members start to unravel the motivations of the past.
Overall: 4/5
Diving back into the The Atlas world was as rich as I remembered. I listened to the audiobook for this, and while the narrative cast was great, I found it more difficult to track the character’s intentions and motivational complexities through audio. I think I’ll enjoy a read of the text version after release to be able to savor the language a bit more.
