The Atlas Paradox

I decided in 2024 if I don't like a book, I am not forcing myself to finish it like I usually do. I had to stop this one at 10% in.

Reading the first book in the series was a slog for me but I wanted to like it so bad that I stuck with it and it was... okay. I didn't have super high hopes after reading the “Sacred Hospitality” short story though as I found that utterly frustrating and pointless.

I feel like these characters are all incredibly annoying, there are glimmers of hope in there but they are just obnoxious a*holes who all seem to hate one another for no apparent reason???Reading the first book it was pretty obvious the author is trying to sound profound and it just didn't work for me.Like I said, I read 10% of this book (about an hour) and I found myself rolling my eyes and not paying attention because the chapters are unnecessarily long and meandering and nothing fcking happens?! What really sealed the deal for me was my kindle telling me the remaining 90% was going to take me 14 hours to read. 14 hours I would never get back and for a book I would probably regret reading.
