Roberts, N. (2017). Year one. New York: St. Martin's Press.
Overview: The first book in the Chronicles of The One by Nora Roberts. When I think of Nora Roberts I generally think a little romance with some fantasy mixed in. Well this book surprised me. Very little to no romance, but a lot of fantasy. When I first started reading I was a little unsure about the story. It is a little dark. A massive plague hits the world and almost all the population is dead in a few months. Some people who survive begin to develop magical elements either dark or light. The characters in the book go through so many ups and downs. Lana is the main character by the end of the first book. The reader really becomes invested in her survival and wanting good fortune for her unborn child.
This book is appropriate for a High School reader who is mature and enjoys urban fantasy. Some violence is present in the story-line, but it goes along with what would happen if mass death came over the world.
If you want to read a fictional book about the end of the world and the rebirth of the world this fantasy is for you. I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would when I first began reading. I was not sure I would like the death and darkness, but you can not have darkness without the light. A story of survival and rebirth was the way I thought of the book by the end. I will be reading book 2, I need to know what happens to Lana and her baby.
