A review by eefaa2207
Year One by Nora Roberts

4.0

This story of a killer virus is a combination of hope, horror, chaos and magick, and a journey that will unite a desperate group of people to fight the battle of their lives. Where there had been order, there is now chaos. The power of science and technology has receded, magick rises up in its place. It shows how much today's society relies on technology and when everything shuts down those who are quick thinking and persistent go on.

I loved how the writer wrote in a dual plot structure. This opened up so many different scenes showing both good magick and bad throughout. Some of it is unimaginably evil, and can appear at any given moment. Having people living in fear. The way the author describes some of the horrific scenes are not for the faint of heart. It is vivid and almost tangible at times. This structure of writing also showed people without magick and what they were going through.

I really enjoyed reading this book and would read it again and I am excited to read the next in the series.
