There were so many themes I adored and the concept truly stole my heart. That said, I SERIOUSLY enjoyed what I read of this book and am completely intent on rereading it in a physical format. (Life has also been very chaotic at the moment so that also created bad timing for a tricky audiobook.) I feel I'd be doing a real disservice to this book by pushing to finish and giving a mediocre rating/review that was heavily influenced by factors other than the content of the story. I tried restarting the novel once and restarting chapters multiple times, but I could not grasp the full scope of the story. The audiobook narrator isn't bad, but the story in the audio format did not fit with me. Ultimately, I made a bad choice to listen to the audiobook with this novel. I really thought I had the potential to LOVE this book, but it was just okay! I wish the story had more development in almost all aspects (characterization, environmentalist themes, plot) and the ending felt rushed and unfinished. Though I adored the writing and structure of the world, the plot and characters ended up being a letdown. I have reread & completed The List and am settling on a rating of 3 stars.
