Watching Fallon grow up and into her powers had me starting the book all over again after I’d finished it the 1st time. A kick-ass heroine who has to learn how to control her powers so that she can save her family. It has everything I love about fantasy/paranormal stories. I will say that Duncan does have a vision of the two of them, I think he’s 17 when he has it, and the vision takes place several years in the future. They do meet and start working together, but there is no hand holding, long looks, or kissing between them. So why is this one so different? Because there is NO ROMANCE! There is no love story between Fallon and her eventual hero. It’s during this time that we’re introduced to the full cast of characters that will help Fallon save them all. This books takes place from the time that she is 13 till she’s around 18. When Of Blood and Bone picks up Fallon who was born at the end of Year One is thirteen.

I can say this with 100% confidence as I consider myself an expert on her books, as I’ve read all but 2 of them. Of Blood and Bone is VERY different from any Roberts EVER. HELLO 2020! I didn’t say anything then, even when people who know that I read and review ALL of Roberts books were asking me about it because it was so different from her other books my thoughts, I told them I was going to hold off on commenting until Of Blood and Bone came out. I mean a health pandemic that takes out millions of people? Even in a paranormal series this was a bit much. I had a hard time connecting to the world Roberts had created. When I read Year One just before it came out back in 2017 I struggled, and I mean I STRUGGLED with it. Maybe it’s only now after what has happened and gripped the world this year that we can truly appreciate this series. Maybe it’s only until now that I can fully appreciate what Nora did with this series. Together.Īnd yet it wasn’t until now that I felt I could explain how reading this series now feels. I’ve written some for each book and then written some for the entire series and I’ve hated them all.īecause none of them conveyed how amazing this series is.

The beginning comes next…in Year One.Īs I’ve thought about this series and how to talk about it I’ve written and deleted at least ten different reviews. In a world full of hope and horror, chaos and magick, where everything from electricity to government institutions has crumbled, a group of survivors must embark on a supernatural journey that will unite them in a fight for the battle of their lives.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes an epic, post-apocalyptic saga, Chronicles of The One.
