The Atlas Paradox

2.5 rounded up; Mixed feelings about this book – I like the concept of these mediens and the types of powers/magic they have. The society is surrounded by questions and mystery.

The characters are sooooo, so similar to each other, it's hard to like them at all because they talk the same, use the same vocabulary (f-bombs everywhere), and this repetitive responses/answer-question format that became a lot more annoying in this book (“yes.” “yes?” “yes.”). Their attitudes are also so similar, which might be understandable, considering their position within the society, but it definitely could've been differentiated more. I skimmed over a LOT of it because seconds in the moment felt like hours.

I was highly anticipating for Callum's character development because he was probably the most interesting out of all of them in [b:The Atlas Six|50520939|The Atlas Six (The Atlas, #1)|Olivie Blake|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1579241117l/50520939._SY75_.jpg|75499539], in a good way or earning trust back, but he ended up being this drunkard with self-pity seeping out everywhere. Gahh

Unsure if I'll pick up the next book if the characters and writing is going to continue on like this ;-;
