Publisher's Summary
The Atlas Complex marks the much-anticipated, heart-shattering conclusion in Olivie Blake's trilogy that began with the internationally bestselling dark academic phenomenon, The Atlas Six.
Only the extraordinary are chosen. Only the cunning survive.
An explosive return to the library leaves the six Alexandrians vulnerable to the lethal terms of their recruitment.
Old alliances quickly fracture as the initiates take opposing strategies as to how to deal with the deadly bargain they have so far failed to uphold. Those who remain with the archives wrestle with the ethics of their astronomical abilities; elsewhere, an unlikely pair partner to influence politics on a global stage.
And still the outside world mobilizes to destroy them — while the Caretaker himself, Atlas Blakely, may yet succeed with a plan foreseen to have world-ending stakes. It’s a race to survive as the six Society recruits are faced with the question of what they're willing to betray for limitless power — and who will be destroyed along the way.
Discover the stunning finale to The Atlas Six trilogy that fans are dying to read

this was kinda disappointing....
⭐️⭐️💫
In the beginning I had high hopes that I was really going to love The Atlas Complex but it slowly descended into madness.
I went from loving Libby in The Atlas Paradox, to her going off the rails in this book?
6 interesting characters went in a very different direction to what I was expecting. I don’t know what happened...
The Atlas books were always very literary/philosophical in the writing, it went from kinda fun and whimsical to tiring and tedious.
Some of the character death felt pointless? And didn’t really fell like they did anything to help the story. And the big death *if you’ve read you know who I’m talking about* deserved better. This is where the book really lost me…
“Grief, oh god, the weight of it. Depression was hollow, sadness was vacant. Neither was anything like this.”
The texting chapters between Callum and Tristan were a highlight!
I’m a Nicogideon simp so I was rewarded there. Gideon’s last chapter 😭 can the dream world be real? “You were always my talisman”
I’m honestly a little confused about how I feel, and maybe I missed the whole point of this book but unfortunately this wasn’t a great ending to the series for me.
“If you saw what I saw, you’d choose betrayal, too.”
Well I’m off to one of those alternative universes now…

Waste of my time
What a way to end the series - you literally have the most captive audience, we’re all invested and they squandered it. What a waste of time honestly. 1/3 of the way through it just became tedious tbh. I’ve not been this angry at an end of a series since Garth Nix frustrated the hell out of me 10 years ago

Don't torture yourself
I am not sure what possessed me to read book 3 considering I loathed book 2, but here we are.
In my view, this series had serious potential which was wasted by pseudo-philosophical nonsense and pretension.
I love prose, truly. At times, Blake's prose is beautiful. BUT, and this is a big but... when you try to make every sentence beautiful, poetic, poignant and pithy - IT ALL FALLS FLAT.
I will admit I did not finish this book (DNF just after the 50% mark). I like to listen to audiobooks while driving and I was rolling my eyes so hard and frequently that it was becoming genuinely unsafe.
If you like insufferable people giving long, often nonsensical monologues, this is the novel for you. If you like plot, sense or dark academia that actually delivers intrigue and/or romance and/or depth, please don't torture yourself.

Should have stopped after Atlas Paradox
The story, if not well written felt completely pointless. Which may have been the authors point? That nothing really matters. The entire book was very philosophical and focussed a lot on moral quandary. I enjoyed the Atlas six, I managed my way through Atlas paradox but this final instalment didn’t read like the continuation of the story and was disappointing end.
