My Review:
many Nora Roberts books in the last couple of years. So when I saw that there
was a new book by Nora Roberts coming out I got immediately excited. I didn’t
even see what the book was about, I just had to read it. So when I started
reading ‘Year One’, I found myself being a little surprised that this was a
post-apocalyptic read. But since I love Nora Roberts, I just kept going.. and I’m
glad I did.
is definitely not your ‘normal’ Nora Roberts read but I loved it. In ‘Year One’
there is a new deadly virus on earth that is killing almost everyone. In no
time at all two billion people are dead and the world is crumbling down. Some
people seem to be immune, witches, fairies but also normal people. With earth
in chaos the people surviving most find a way to keep going. But with people dying,
and the infrastructure going down humanity and kindness isn’t easy to find.
we follow the stories of several groups of people. Normally I’m not a fan of
many main characters but somehow, in this story it worked. We meet Lana and
Max. A young couple who are witches and just started living together. Jonah and
Rachel. A paramedic and a doctor. And there also was Arlys, Katie, Eddie and
Fred. And I just loved reading about all those characters. They were all very
different, but really fun to get to know.
book one year is passing by. And although it’s a lot of time, in not a very long
book, I never felt like this book was rushed in any way. I really felt like I
got the time to learn about this crazy world, and the characters. And what I
liked most about this read is that I never expected what would happen next.
characters in this book are all very memorable. Nora Roberts did a great job creating
those characters. I loved that I was able to get to know so many characters,
and not have a moment of trouble keeping those characters apart. For me that is
very unique. Every character was very different and they all had their own
charms.
although the world in ‘Year One’ is terrifying, I also loved the way Nora Roberts
was able to make me ‘see’ this world.
was amazing and I loved it from beginning till end. ‘Year One’ is definitely not
easy to put into one genre. It is post-apocalyptic, there is romance, it is
paranormal, fantasy.. this book has it all. And I really really loved it. If
your looking for a fun and different read.. this book is definitely for you.
And I can’t wait for the next book.
