The List by Patricia Forde
4.0

While The List is a great book, I feel it could’ve been more developed. Ark had a backstory, but not much was said about it. I felt that more world building was needed.

The characters were nice, Letta was annoying at times, but mostly a solid character. Although, most books have more then one main character. I became annoyed with Letta because I was constantly hearing her view of things. I would love if the author incorporated more about Finn and Marlo’s point of view.

Lastly, this book needed a better villain. While the problem they faced was giant, the villain wasn’t much of a true threat to me. He wasn’t menacing enough, and since his backstory was tied to Arks backstory, and the author didn’t say much about it, I didn’t know enough about him to understand his motives correctly.

Overall though, the List kept my attention. It started slow, but the middle and ending were worth it.
