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.

Psykodelisk drama. Ger flugorna herre vibe. Vet inte om det är värt att läsa resterande böcker. Inte så spännande men intressanta karaktärer.

My, what a story. Well entertaining, somewhat frustrating, very creepy. Unique. I liked it.

Tyckte den var sjukt bra, otroligt bra cast av uppläsare! Karaktärerna har ett rikt inre liv och egna motiveringar, väldigt filosofiskt karaktärsdrama med ett (eller flera) mysterium i centrum. Vad är egentligen verkligt, vem är "ond" och god, och vem är det egentligen som manipulerar vem?
