Story
Viola Marek is a struggling real estate agent, and a vampire. But her biggest problem currently is that the house she needs to sell is haunted. The ghost haunting the house has been murdered, and until he can solve the mystery of how he died, he refuses to move on. Fox D’Mora is a medium, and though is also most-definitely a shameless fraud, he isn’t entirely without his uses—seeing as he’s actually the godson of Death.

Story
For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings…until she learns that the love of her life will marry another. Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing. But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game—and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Once, there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power and connected by a single city: London. Until the magic grew too fast and forced the worlds to seal the doors between them in a desperate gamble to protect their own. The few magicians who could still open the doors grew more rare as time passed and now, only three Antari are known in recent memory—Kell Maresh of Red London, Delilah Bard of Grey London, and Holland Vosijk, of White London.

1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization.

I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts; I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, making myself the dark queen of the world.

Conquering dungeons and using them to grow has long been the most efficient way to become a powerful adventurer. The only thing keeping the process from being easy is the Beasts that inhabit these places. Questions plague those entering this particular place of power: Where do the ‘rewards’ of weapons, armor, and heavy gold coins come from? Why is a fluffy bunny charging at me? For abyss-sake, why are there so many monsters? Cal has all of the answers to these age-old questions for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Core, a soul forced against his will into a magical stone.

Publisher's summary
The Atlas Paradox is the long-awaited sequel to Olivie Blake's New York Times bestselling dark academic sensation The Atlas Six—guaranteed to have even more yearning, backstabbing, betrayal, and chaos.
Six magicians were presented with the opportunity of a lifetime.
Five are now members of the Society.
Two paths lay before them.
All must pick a side.
Alliances will be tested, hearts will be broken, and The Society of Alexandrians will be revealed for what it is: a secret society with raw, world-changing power, headed by a man whose plans to change life as we know it are already under way.
"The Atlas Six introduced six of the most devious, talented, and flawed characters to ever find themselves in a magical library, and then sets them against one another in a series of stunning betrayals and reversals. As much a delicious contest of wit, will, and passion as it is of magic...half mystery, half puzzle, and wholly a delight."—New York Times bestselling author Holly Black
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

Of course, having a wizard for a human means that trouble is never far away. When Sir Kipling's human goes away for the weekend and leaves him to guard her magical library, things start out quiet. But he soon discovers witches smelling suspiciously of demon magic snooping about, and quiet goes out the window as chaos looms on the horizon.

But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing - are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs.

Decent Story, Maddening Performance
The story is good, if a little slow, but the voice actress playing Parrisa is maddening. Half of what she says is a whisper or right on the edge of it. It's like she thinks whispering is sexy, and it's the only way she can deliver the lines. Barely audible without cranking the volume. Every chapter she voices is a chore to get through.

Like 9 Insufferable People and Nico de Varona
Much the same as the first book. Little happens for the vast majority and the plot seems lost, then she wraps it up in the last 25%. Still enjoyable, just oddly paced. There are huge gaps where things happen off-screen and we're only told about them later.
Everybody continues to be extremely insufferable, except Nico (and Gideon, I guess). It's a little hard to get engaged at times when everybody is so Godawful All the Damn Time. Of the original 6 + 2 in the first book (the Atlas Six plus Atlas himself and Dalton), it's really only Nico (and occasionally Libby) that I felt any meager degree of sympathy for. The rest are terrible, terrible, terrible people.
As for the performance, it's...mostly fine. Nico, Libby, and Tristan's performers are good. Callum is mediocre. Reina and Ezra aren't great (Reina mostly for the Plant-Speak). Gideon is terrible. Parisa is absolutely unlistenable. I found myself physically wincing every time I heard the "Parisa" chapter announcement. Once I said, out loud, "Ah sh*t, here we go again." She delivers it in this hypersexualized breathy sort of way that is nails on the chalkboard of my soul. It's awful. It's especially terrible when she has to also do Atlas' voice as well.
One final note: Atlas Six had the different character POV chapters selectable from the chapter menu. This book does not. It, instead, has only the multi-hour Parts (Part I, Part II, etc.) to choose from. This made trying to revisit an earlier section a near impossibility. Zero stars for layout.
tl;dr slightly less good than the original.

Book over audio
Maybe an audio book isn’t the best way to ‘read’ this story. I read the first one and couldn’t put it down, but the second one just fell flat. You don’t even reach a conclusion until the last chapter. And was that another cliffhanger?

The story is okay, this audio book would have been much better without the narrator of Parisa. Almost anyone else would have made this a more enjoyable experience.

Female narrator for Parisa…
…was HORRIFIC. I guess she was trying to sound “sexy” but it sounded more like a sinus infection! Her volume was too low, too nasally, and annoying. And then when she’d speak the male parts—UGH!!!! I actually had to skim through Parisa sections. My ears couldn’t take that torture. The other narrators were fine. If not for Parisa narrator, listening experience would’ve been perfect!

Narration was hit or miss
Most of the narrators were fine, but Parisa’s narrator was insufferable. She was trying to sound deep and sexy but was just groveling. And soooo slow. Just spit it out already. I sped up those parts just to get through them. There was also a male narrator in book 1 that made Libby sound like a 10 year old, which was annoying, but I honestly can’t remember which one now. Overall I enjoyed the story.

Love love love
I feel like I haven’t seen as many people love this series as much as I do. It’s a new all time favorite. The characters are amazingly complex and diverse and flawed. I love them. The story is unique and I’ve never read anything like it. The magic system is unlike anything I’ve seen before, and it is so entertaining to learn more about it as the books continue. I love the romances, the mystery, the dramatic irony.
The audiobooks are superb. The narrators have such unique voices for these characters, and they also capture the other characters so well during their own narrated parts.
The writing is fantastic. The themes and topics addressed are so complex. I love this series and I can’t wait for more. Especially after that ending!
