The Atlas Six

i was so disappointed by this book and it was so hyped up in the online book community :(
my issues with the book:
- inadequate world building. like yeah, these archives can ensure initiates power but in what significant ways? i wasn't all that impressed by the library, or the society in general. i still don't get why the initiates are even necessary aside from ‘guarding' the archives
- characters were flat, most notably reina. she felt more like a background character
- this had the worst case of telling & not showing significant events. like thx for telling me nico & libby created a wormhole but like HOW?
