Über diesen Titel
"Bringing a self-assured, intelligent manner to this dark mixture of urban fantasy, romance, Russian folklore, and Shakespearean storytelling, narrator Ferdelle Capistrano has a fine time giving voice to the seven beautiful but cunning Antonova sisters and the three equally cunning Fedorov brothers—all of whom are well versed in the dark arts."—AudioFile
From New York Times bestselling author Olivie Blake comes an intricate web of love, magic, and rival witch families in New York City.
In modern-day Manhattan where we lay our scene, two rival witch families fight to maintain control of their respective criminal empires.
On one side of the conflict are the Antonova sisters—each one beautiful, cunning, and ruthless—and their mother, the elusive supplier of premium intoxicants, known only as Baba Yaga. On the other side, the influential Fedorov brothers serve their father, the crime boss known as Koschei the Deathless, whose community extortion ventures dominate the shadows of magical Manhattan.
After twelve years of tenuous co-existence, a change in one family’s interests causes a rift in the existing stalemate. When bad blood brings both families to the precipice of disaster, fate intervenes with a chance encounter, and in the aftershocks of a resurrected conflict, everyone must choose a side. As each of the siblings struggles to stake their claim, fraying loyalties threaten to rot each side from the inside out.
If, that is, the enmity between empires doesn’t destroy them first.

"Lethally smart. Filled with a cast of brilliantly realized characters, each entangled with one another in torturously delicious ways, The Atlas Six will grip you by the throat and refuse to let go. Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent." (Chloe Gong, author of NYT Bestselling These Violent Delights)
"Compelling, entertaining, and addictive. The Atlas Six is academic Darwinism: survival of the smartest with a healthy dose of magic." (T.L. Huchu, author of The Library of The Dead)
"This chilling story of ambition and magic will make you question your own morals as you grow to love (and hate) its fascinating, ruthless cast of characters. I utterly devoured this book." (Amanda Foody, New York Times bestselling author of All of Us Villains)

Took far too long
A Romeo and Julia Retelling great. The Russian cute names great. The mafia family dinamics very great.
But why place it in New York? Why don't have a magic system? The magic here just works there are no rules established... Why never bother with the Shadow creatures that were introduced? Why kiss a total stranger?
I started this book after a recommendation about two months ago and paused it because I needed something more exiting. It's written very theatrically and structured with Acts and Scenes. But it also jumps back in time and explains how the father felt when you would rather hear about the son. It's a history of hurt feelings through generations but at some point this was overplayed.
I really liked the epilog where everything finally came together, until then I was so very jumpy and annoyed.
And I really liked the Russian cute names and mythology use.
