I kept listening because I wasted a credit on it. I especially didn’t like Nico’s voice because he is supposed to be Puerto Rican 20-something and was voiced by a very white 30-something so it was hard to actually picture True Nico with the voice being so off. Abby, Callum, Parisa, and Reina’s voice were ok and seemed to match enough to their personality. Some of the mental gymnastics feel like it’s written in a way to wear the reader down into just going with the prompt. There was sooo much theory that the author discusses and it gets really repetitive. Also, the whole book just felt like the author trying to prove that they’re smart. Nearly every single one was “I’m so smart and superior. Pretty much all the characters POVs were so insufferable. The six potential initiates will fight to survive the next year of their lives, and if they can prove themselves to be the best among their rivals, most of them will.Ī Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books. When the candidates are recruited by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they are told they will have one year to qualify for initiation, during which time they will be permitted preliminary access to the Society’s archives and judged based on their contributions to various subjects of impossibility: time and space, luck and thought, life and death. Finally, there is Tristan Caine, who can see through illusions to a new structure of reality-an ability so rare that neither he nor his peers can fully grasp its implications. Callum Nova, an empath easily mistaken for a manipulative illusionist, who can influence the intimate workings of a person’s inner self. Parisa Kamali, a telepath who can traverse the depths of the subconscious, navigating worlds inside the human mind. Reina Mori, a naturalist, who can intuit the language of life itself. Those who earn a place among the Alexandrians will secure a life of wealth, power, and prestige beyond their wildest dreams, and each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to be considered for initiation.Įnter the latest round of six: Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona, unwilling halves of an unfathomable whole, who exert uncanny control over every element of physicality.
