Our view
“The Atlas Six” offers a mood more than a world: six gifted young magicians, a secret society and constant sparring between rivals. The prose is easy and the friction among the characters is the main pleasure. Some readers complain that the setting and the magic are barely described, and that the ending and its twist fall flat. First of a trilogy, it rewards those who come for atmosphere and personalities.
