Prompt 13 - a book rated less than three stars on Goodreads - July 22, 2025 - This book had a 2.8-star rating at the time I started reading this book. It's the third and final installment of The Atlas Six series. I was greatly disappointed. The intrigue was nonexistent, the writing pretentious, dry, and painfully slow. The ending was incredibly lackluster and not consistent with the previous novels.

Rating ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2

Prompt 20 - A book that fills a 2024 prompt you'd like to do over - May 18, 2025 - I chose a lower rated read from last year to do over, a book about a 24 year old. In book 2 of the Atlas series, Gideon is 24 years old. The story picks up from Libby's disappearance, but then the other five just continue on with their independent studies. The plot lags until the end. It does go out with a bang, though.

Rating ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 3/4
