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. It’s true that few feelings can match the anticipation of an upcoming release that people have been looking forward to, especially when it’s a sequel to a book or series they love. Think of what happens when the release date for a popular sequel is coming up: the social media buzz, the midnight release parties, the fervent speculation across Internet forums. Fans eagerly reread the last installment of the series, build up expectations, and either stay up all night reading or make an elaborate reading party for one. Or they may save the book for a pick-me-up and then not read it for three years. Not that I’m speaking from experience. The 10 books listed below are novels that follow up beloved stories. Whether you’re a sci-fi reader, a fantasy fiend, all about YA, or devoted to mysteries, there is more than likely something here that will call to you.
