The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
This book has been all over the place and I was just too curious to know whether all the hype was worth it. This is a fantasy novel with six main characters who all have different magical abilities and who are chosen to be iniciated into the secret society of the library of Alexandria. This is said to fit into dark academia, to be honest it does mainly for the general vibes because these characters are acadamics and study, but that's it. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but do not expect something like The Secret History by Donna Tartt that is entirely focused on academia. With this being said The Atlas Six wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't as perfect as everybody said, at least for me. It's a bit slow in the beginning, but after that it's really entrataining, and you really want to know how things are going to develop. I feel like the strong point of this book are the characters. They are crafted well, they all have very distinct traits, and they all work very well with each other. The plot is not bad, but to be honest I wished it dived in a bit more certain things and topics, especially cause the idea at the base of the book is really cool. The magic system not really explained as much as it could have, it works, but since in my opinion the idea of a magic system based into science was really cool, I would have loved to know more. There's a big twist at the end of the book that everyone said it blew their mind, in my opinion it wasn't that unpredictable, but still it was an interesting choice I liked. The ending of the book surely leaves you wanting to read the next novel in the series, and although I tend to prefer stand alone books I think I'll be reading the next book when it will come out. Overall as I said it was a good book, it's definitely a good fantasy novel for people who are intimidated by high fantasy but like magic in their novels, it feels like a good compromise accessible to everyone. It's really entrataining one you get into it, I particularly liked how you cannot really predict which character will end up with whom, because generally a lot of books are really obvious from the beginning. Here everyone can be shipped with anyone else, which is really fun. I also really liked the idea of having the empath of the group being one of the less likable characters instead of having your typical loving empath who cares for everyone, that was a really cool choice. I would recommend this book, the audiobook wasn't bad but I really didn't like one of the narrators which didn't help at all, so maybe go for the physical copy (which I have been told has illustrations so I am considering getting it). As for any book that has this much hype try to be realistic in your expectations.
I read this book for the studyblr w/knives autumn reading challenge for the number in the title prompt.

a blurb I suppose
Nobody really knew you, but soon enough they would. Soon, you would bring life to this empty place, but for now, there was nobody in the library except for you and Geoffrey.
You decided to apply as soon as you heard about the job opening, even though it would mean moving away from your childhood home. You've always been that venturous. And it really was time you started on that 'coming of age' chapter of your life. To be honest, you really needed a place of your own. Being introverted can be incredibly challenging when, every waking moment, there is the chance of a family member checking on you.
That, and the fact that dark academia had always been your jam, were the deciding factors. So here you sit. On a ramshackle chair. The desk has a nice colour, but the paints won't fool you. It is raggedy as well.
You thought the library would be a bit bussier. You have to admit: the reason why Geoffrey needed a colleague is a bit of a mistery. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. It gives you plenty of time to study the contents of the books you are watching over. Acadamic skills seem to be critically underused here in Camelot.
Although some boy has been paying a lot of visits.

Re-blog this if:
- you’re gay - can read - support gay people - want to hold a match between your fingers as you wander the halls of an ancient castle because it’s your only source of light amidst the ghosts of people long past - are an antelope - or want a chocolate bar.
No one will know which applies.

Okay but like: reading Emily Dickinson by candle light while listening to Sufjan Stevens songs: beautiful!

not to be a sadist, but the loneliness that creeps up window sills in winter nights and the lone stalker in the street after everyone has retired in their blankets and the only lit room in a house where a person is reading/ writing and the parent who is far away from his family to bring bread to the table and the fogged up car windows in chilly mornings and the cold stone bench even though sunlight touches it and flower pots with no planted plants and the echo of some memories long forgotten and the silence of a house in the morning when everyone has left for their work and the lonely streetlights at 12 pm with no one to guide to and the faded brightness of a winter sunshine and

ML tropes i'd like to see die a horrendous death with no possibility of resurrection
Lets kill:
Fanon Marinette
Overly Insecure Marinette aka ''are you disappointed'' (girl has some doubts like any regular teenager but not to the point of self hate Dark Blade if anything showed a healthy amount of self love)
Ladybug Hates Chat (she adores him, she's so proud of him, he's her rock and one of her favorite people i dont know what people are watching, oh wait it's when she's annoyed by him joking and not being serious because honestly boy has shit timing)
Why Is Chat Useless/Sidekick/Hated/Out Of The Loop/Controlled Cries (No one in Canon thinks that so i think its suspect that his fans always make him out to be like that for the sake of Chat Angst. The only reason Marinette was in the loop was because Tikki thought it was necessary and that Marinette was ready, i know Plagg is lazy but he could have taken Adrien to Fu if he thought he needed to or that he was ready which frankly he wasnt, if Syren told us anything is that Marinette is the more mature hero like boi wait until people arent drowing to death to air your grievances, now Fu is in even more danger unless he's there to scop out a potential enemy if so then right on dude but be careful. I think about 5 out of 52 episodes isnt a lot if it was in the double digits maybe there's a problem)
Bad At Science Marinette (pretty optional but please stop making her acadamically dumb. Girl made a magic box i think she knows physics. Where did this one even come from. I think its from the desire to see Adrien tutoring her)
Marinette Is Like Chloé/She Caused Her Millionth Akuma (the only one i could see being her fault is poor Santa. I dare you to be faced with a situation like Antibug or Volpina and not lose your cool. She could have chilled in Volpina a bit but i would have still wanted her to tell off Lila)
Everyone Yelling And Berating Marinette Over Secret Identities (its even more frustrating when its Tikki. My dudes if a more than 5000 and from what we know of Plagg I destroyed The Dinosaurs And I'm Younger Than Tikki, so probably million or billion year old magical being told me it wasnt safe for anyone to know i'm a hero i would probably think they would know better.)
Ladybug Hates Puns (dudes, dudes she was making puns as early as Climatika/ Stormy Weather. It's just about timing aka not when we're trying to save my best friend Chat Noir)
Malnourished/Underfed Adrien (he was eating three croissant from as early as Bubbler and had a huge amount of dessert sent to his bedroom in Origins. Boy eats, probably regulated but he aint starving. He's a teenage boy of course he wants more sweets/ is disappointed if doesnt get any)
Ladybug Hates Puns (dudes, dudes, she was making puns as early as Climatika/Stormy Weather. It's just about timing aka not when we're trying to save my best friend Chat Noir)
Poor Angsty Chat (dudes please stop babying him he's 14 not 4 though i'll forgive you the honest mistake i would think so too if i watched Glaciator Frozer Copycat and Syren)
Perfect Adrien can now die a gruesome fiery death and i hope Thomas gets to it (perfect? Boy is a jealous, passive, possessive brat. He still very sweet and nice and brave but he shouldnt get a free pass compared to Marinette just cause he's a boy.)
Did i forget anything or is there something you would like to add @simplystefanie-rae @spottedcutie @purrincess-chat @lnc2 @mlbirb
