   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  gypsysmom | Nov 13, 2023 |   I will, however be reading book 2 because I need to know what happened! (  ) Danielle.Desrochers | Oct 10, 2023 | I need the next book like right now! Ugh I'm sad I have to wait but it looks like it should be coming out soon (this year sometime) so that's good. Really interesting magic system/world, I love how different all the characters are and how they interact with each other. And oh man did things get interesting at the end! (  ) Fatula | Oct 5, 2023 |  ) TimeLord10SPW | Sep 29, 2023 | For someone who is holding her breath for a sequel of her most favourite dark fantasy - Ninth House, The Atlas Six came as a welcome distraction. The reason why I was attracted to this book is because it was a self-published digital novel that went so viral that not only were the publishers fighting to release it but also a tv adaptation is on its way. So, unlike ‘NewYork Times Best Selling’ popular novels that go viral most essentially due to the PR, this one was story driven. All the hype stands true. The story revolves around the Alexandrian Society and their tradition of choosing Six powerful MEDIANS (aka people with varied magical abilities) to join them after they go through some training. This time, they are under the care of Atlas Blakely. The catch to this recruitment is that only 5 of the 6 medians will go on to become members and unlock privileges that are unremarkable. The elimination is the job of the 6 medians themselves. When you know this is a series that has so many characters and a new world, the book one usually is used to set up the plot and introduce the characters. While this is the case here, the characters are to die for. As character driven as the book is, the story doesn’t waver. There are layers and twists that are unravelled at the right time and it does not get overwhelming. As densely packed and rich with emotionally flawed characters as the book is, it was not enough. Waiting for the sequel to be out to latch on to it and get more tea!!!! ( ) AnrMarri | Aug 1, 2023 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

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.

The plot is pretty simple. Every ten years,the Alexandrian Society invites six young magic practitioners to audition for a place in the society. At the end of a year, five of them will be invited to stay on. They have to spend that year in a large home in London taking lessons and exploring the society's vast archives. Of course, the various personalities clash and there are numerous attempts to one up the others. But, since we are talking about young hormonal people, there are also a number of liaisons of a sexual nature. One of the six, who is a telepath, learns that at the end of the year the person who is passed over is to be killed by the others. Not a way to build good interpersonal relationships. I won't disclose how it ends but since there is a sequel you can probably guess that there is no definitive conclusion.
I really thought there could have been a lot less filler between the original scenes and the end. I won't be delving into the sequel. (
