The Atlas Complex

so-so

My #TBRtarot pick this month was the third and last book in this Atlas series. The author said she wrote these as a commentary about the wealthy people in America and how they choose not to help solve some of the worlds greatest problems. However, the ending of the series wasn‘t great. Kind of let down about what happened to our 6 main characters. And I‘m left wondering about what happens to the archive! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

CBee I‘ve heard a lot of good things about this series, but what a bummer about the ending 😳 1mo

so-so

An unfortunately disappointing finale to the trilogy. I absolutely love Olivie Blake‘s writing style and characterization (which is still highlighted in this book), but the plot was basically incomprehensible to me. I honestly couldn‘t describe what happened outside of a few set piece scenes and character deaths. I‘ll credit my lack of comprehension partially to distracted audiobook listening, but I didn‘t have that problem w/the first 2 books.

Meshell1313 This seems to be the consensus. I‘m reading it now! 2mo

Kimberlone @Meshell1313 yep, I will eventually give it another try, I have the hardcover so I might understand the plot better if I read the physical book. I want to do a full reread of the series, so I hope I‘ll appreciate the final book more in that context. 2mo

emz711 Oh no! I just finished the first and requested the second one quick from the library 2mo

Kimberlone @emz711 I really liked the first two! 2mo

RamsFan1963 @Kimberlone I was pretty disappointed by the final volume also. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who found the story incomprehensible. 2mo

11/150 What an utter disappoint to conclude the Atlas trilogy. While the first two books weren't perfect, there were several story moments that annoyed me, they at least had coherent storylines. After the explosive finale of book 2, I wasn't expecting this one to start so slow, or take so long to get back to the main characters. If you've read the other two books, you'll want to see how it ends, but I don't think you'll find it satisfying.

Traci1 That's disappointing to hear. 3mo

DieAReader 🥳Off the #MountTBR at least 👋🏻 3mo

Meshell1313 Oooh nooooo. 3mo

RamsFan1963 @Meshell1313 Hopefully you'll have a better experience with it. For me, it took the parts of the series I didn't like and expanded on them, also the characters (to me) felt like they regressed back to the way they were at the beginning of the first book. 3mo

I have no memory of entering my pre-order of The Atlas Complex in for a pin, but I must have, because I received this enamel pin from Macmillian this morning. Pat my past self on the back. It's very pretty.

I meant to post this last week when they arrived in the mail, but….it finally happened…I preordered the same book twice 🤦🏽‍♀️

My husband opened the packages and was totally “WTF, Kimberly?!”

Thankfully I have a sister that already owns the first two in this series in hardback, so the extra copy will end up going to her.

vivastory 😂 😂 If it's any consolation over the weekend I realized I had 2 copies of the same book checked out from the library 3mo

Kimberlone @vivastory haha! That is even funnier 🤣 3mo

Saknicole So pretty 😍 now I just have to read the two I have on the shelf 😂 (well I have two others of her‘s I haven‘t read either from our Target outing a while back) 3mo

Kimberlone @Saknicole you could also start with one for my enemy since it‘s a standalone and I think you would really love it (magic, folk tale, Romeo & Juliet vibes)! 3mo

We finally got a decent amount of snow this weekend! 🤍❄️🤍 Snowy weekends were meant for cozy reading! 💕📚

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Beautiful ❄️ 3mo

jackilynn I am jealous of your book. I meant to start that Friday since I had a snow day (and another one Saturday). My goal was to read the majority of it this weekend. But, due to the weather my copy has yet to be delivered 😩 3mo

RamsFan1963 I'm going to dive into this on audio as soon as I finish Patrick Stewart's memoir 3mo

I just preordered the last book in the Atlas trilogy, coming out January 9th. I have mixed feelings about these books. There are many aspects that I enjoy and keep me eagerly reading, then other parts that make me want to DNF and be done with it. I'm hoping the author can stick the landing, and give me a conclusion that doesn't have me going WTF, like the end of the 2nd book.

Roary47 I‘ve only read the first one, but I have the second reading to go. I hope the conclusion is worth the wait. 💛 4mo
