Libby’s transition from an anxious mess to a literal force of nature is the book’s most compelling, but Reina’s is perhaps the most tragic, given that it’s such a cry for someone, anyone to love her best.

Envy, one of the seven princes of hell, is also trying to keep up appearances while a terrible malady slowly decimates his court.

Because Nico was a physicist, he saw the world in terms of pseudo-anatomical construction, but Gideon liked to think of the world as something of a data cloud. Lacy Baugher Milas is the Books Editor at Paste Magazine, but loves nerding out about all sorts of pop culture.

The much-anticipated final installment in Olivie Blake’s trilogy that began with the New York Times bestselling phenomenon, The Atlas Six.Gideon, a creature who constantly wavered between consciousness and unconsciousness, lacked muscle memory when it came to the limitations of reality.
