Welcome to Litsy!

Meh. This one made me wonder why I read 3 of these.

“This is the problem with knowledge: it‘s inexhaustible craving. The madness inherent in knowing there is only more to know. It‘s a problem of morality, of seeing the invariable end from the immovable beginning, of determining that the more you try to fix it, the more beginnings there are to discover, the more ways to reach the same unavoidable end.”

I don't like to "DNF" any book, but I came close to it a few times reading this one. It felt like I read the same book 3 times during this trilogy.
The plot had potential in the first book, but it did not go anywhere. The same conversations are had in each book. There is constant planning, but nothing really happens. There's very long descriptions of physics from each character's POV, so you're basically reading the same thing over and over again.

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Congratulations @BarbaraBB on your 6 year Litsyversary, and thank you for hosting this giveaway.

One of the 2024 books I'm eagerly anticipating is the concluding volume of the Atlas trilogy.
