Beskrivelse
The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake is the runaway TikTok sensation – a must-read fantasy novel with gorgeous illustrations. If you loved Ninth House, Fourth Wing 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.
Includes Sacred Hospitality, a short story set in the world of The Atlas Six. The story continues in The Atlas Paradox, the heart-stopping sequel.

I had expected better i think… It’s not that it’s badly written, it just isn’t what I expected or what i felt was advertised. The best way to describe it is - it feels more like a sci-fi or marvel type universe, than that of a fantasy world. Much more like watching the matrix than harry potter. The worst part for me, was that the mystical charm of magic was stripped down to the barest of bones, and replaced with the modern minimalist office spaces in black, white, grey and a smidge of beige. Very stale corporate type spaces, clothing and people. I honestly don’t really feel like magic has any purpose in this world. There aren’t any monsters or threats, outside of other witches, so the need for power is reduced to only really being out of a place of greed and superiority. It’s just not really up to par, when I’ve just finished reading ‘the scholomance’ with its fleshed out world, characters and magic system.
