Informació de l'obraThe Atlas Six de Olivie Blake
   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Couldn't get into it so I just couldn't finish it. The characters are pretentious and none of them are even remotely likeable. (  ) ALeighPete | Mar 10, 2023 |  I'm giving this a 1.5 and rounding it up to 2 purely because I loved the talking plants. Look, quite often when we go into a book our enjoyment is significantly affected by our expectations. This book did not meet my expectations so I did not enjoy it. This is not based on reviews or ratings but my own expectations for this novel based on it's blurb. "The Alexandrian Society is a secret society of magical academicians, the best in the world...each decade, the world’s six most uniquely talented magicians are selected for initiation." Was I wrong to expect the initiation would involve displays of magical capability in a competitive environment? Maybe, maybe not. I definitely didn't expect 90% of the book to be people sitting around moaning about who they trust and don't trust, or who should be eliminated or not, or who was more powerful or not, or how their magic worked or didn't, and which candidates they wanted to 'rub magical sticks' with or not. It is such a shame because the beginning was so very promising and then the final 5 minutes piqued my interest again, but I can't see myself continuing on for fear of a repeat of the disappointment and boredom I felt with this book. Please read other reviews as there are lots of people who loved this. I did not. (  ) Mrs_Tapsell_Bookzone | Feb 14, 2023 | I really enjoyed this book, this concept of magic, and the characters which were almost all anti-heroes. At times their motives were unclear, but enough hints were given that I am looking forward to the next book because I think many things will be explained in there. The writing was mature and lively and the plot really worked for me. (  ) Gena678 | Feb 3, 2023 | Avevo grandi aspettative su questo libro alla fine mi sono pentita di aver dato ascolto a tutte le recensioni positive a 5 Stelle che ho letto su Goodreads o ascoltato su YouTube. Non c'è neppure una trama, per di più trovo i personaggi davvero insopportabili e insignificanti. Una gigantesca supercazzola. Non c'è un worldbuilding e i personaggi non fanno che discutere di fisica e filosofia bevendo superalcolici per poi litigare senza riuscire a concludere niente. Davvero il libro più brutto che io abbia mai letto infatti non ce l'ho fatta ad arrivare fino alla fine. Alcuni personaggi poi meritano una menzione particolare perché davvero volgari e perversi. Orrendo! P. S In futuro mi fiderò solo del mio giudizio personale non mi farò più influenzare, nella scelta dei libri da leggere, dai vari booktuber che ovviamente non hanno gusti simili ai miei!

"The Alexandrian Society, caretakers of lost knowledge from the greatest civilizations of antiquity, are the foremost secret society of magical academicians in the world. Those who earn a place among the Alexandrians will secure a life of wealth, power, and prestige beyond their wildest dreams, and each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to be considered for initiation. Enter the latest round of six: Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona, unwilling halves of an unfathomable whole, who exert uncanny control over every element of physicality. Reina Mori, a naturalist, who can intuit the language of life itself. Parisa Kamali, a telepath who can traverse the depths of the subconscious, navigating worlds inside the human mind. Callum Nova, an empath easily mistaken for a manipulative illusionist, who can influence the intimate workings of a person's inner self. Finally, there is Tristan Caine, who can see through illusions to a new structure of reality-an ability so rare that neither he nor his peers can fully grasp its implications. When the candidates are recruited by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they are told they will have one year to qualify for initiation, during which time they will be permitted preliminary access to the Society's archives and judged based on their contributions to various subjects of impossibility: time and space, luck and thought, life and death. Five, they are told, will be initiated. One will be eliminated. The six potential initiates will fight to survive the next year of their lives, and if they can prove themselves to be the best among their rivals, most of them will. Most of them."-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
