Description

The Ancient Greeks called it the embroidery of Lachesis. To the Egyptians, it was Shai’s script. Saint Peter called it the schedule of the Holy Spirit. The modern world knows it by one simple, monolithic name: the List.

Connor Blakely has been waiting 18 years for Fool’s Day to receive his own List and meet his destiny. But between the relentlessness of the Fulfillers and the rebellion of the Fatebreakers, he finds himself starting down an uncharted path with no guidelines to keep him on track. What do you do when you might be the only Listless in existence?

Whatever you want, for better or worse.

As of writing this review, this story is still in its very early stages. I can't find fault with anything in it though, other than having no idea where this story might go. That being said, the journey here is the point, and the characters we travel with make it all worth it!
Style: The wording, sentence structure, etc. are flawless as far as I could tell, flowing well and giving pause and emphasis where it's deserved. Some paragraphs are a bit lengthy due to narration, but it doesn't feel like a wall of text or oversaturation.
Story: Familiar backdrop, unique twist that leads you to think of how it would have affected history. It's fun, relatable, and makes me want to keep reading. As mentioned in the title though, I can't anticipate where the story might be going or whether I really want to commit to following it long-term.
Grammar: Flawless. I am usually a stickler for grammar, and didn't notice a single sentence fragment, misspelling, continuity error, or anything else so far.
Character: This is the best part! Each of the characters is fleshed out through the interactions, varying levels of banter, wordplay, awkwardness, etc. as would be appropriate for each of them. They feel like real people and I'm already invested in seeing where they go.
