The Atlas Six

by Olivie Blake

Our rating

Spice 2/5 Darkness 3/5

Spice: mild. Darkness: dark.

Six magicians get recruited by the Alexandrian Society, and only five get to stay. It's mostly six awful, brilliant people talking in a library and trying to figure out which of them has to die. Vibes over plot, and readers are split on that.
