The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake is the runaway TikTok must-listen fantasy novel of the year, read by a full cast of narrators. If you loved Ninth House 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.
The story continues in The Atlas Paradox, the heart-stopping sequel.

in true olivie blake fashion ... i thought i knew what was happening but alas i did not the way that she writes is just incredible it is so beautiful that you can't not continue reading (i also did the audiobook for this one which was a good shout though if you are doing something which might make you lose your train of thought i do not recommend hehe) this is a story of six magical academics who have been selected to join a secret society which protects the library of alexandria, they end up finding themselves both competing to these roles but also having to work together along the book we get to see what is happening from their different perspectives as well as getting to know more about them personally, olivie blake does this perfectly as she makes you love or at least like every single character throughout that you end up rooting for all of them it was a very interesting read and i highly recommend it and the ending was not what i was expecting at all (we love to see it
