![]() ![]() Sign me up! But what works in pitch does not always work in practice, and I found myself struggling to stay interested. ![]() I confess myself baffled as to the popularity of The Atlas Six, which in pitch sounds like something I would love-a dark academia with a splash of Hunger Games as six magicians of dubious morality vie for inclusion in a secret society which serves as caretakers for a wealth of supposedly-lost knowledge from antiquity. Why did this book blow up? How will going through the channels of traditional publishing change it (Tor Books describes this edition as “newly revised and edited … with new illustration material”)? And, of course, the most important question of all: is it actually good? The answer, for me, is no. ![]() I’m always intrigued when a self-published phenomenon such as The Atlas Six gets picked up by a traditional publisher. I received an ARC of The Atlas Six from Macmillan-Tor/Forge in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
