A review by edshara
Year One by Nora Roberts

4.0

So I really enjoyed this and I think if you like Nora Roberts books, you’ll enjoy it too. The plot was interesting and I was on the edge of my seat the majority of the time. I fell for the characters easily and was completely invested in their lives and their stories.

I love how Nora Roberts places a strong emphasis on light vs. dark and how light has the power to overcome the darkness. She’s so good at writing sadness into the plot without it being overwhelming. My absolute favorite part of the story was that the women were strong before all the devastation and not just because of it.

Nora Roberts also does a great job of building a world where magical, non-magical, and people of faith are all capable of coexisting together, without judgement except for the few jerks and their were bad people in all the groups. My only issue was, I knew “it” was coming and I still wasn’t ready for it. I also didn’t like how a certain relationship seemed to move so quickly(I wasn’t ready, lol). I know the dialogue is a bit cheesy and the plot can at times be slightly over dramatic, but I absolutely love it and I can’t wait, to continue the series, later this year.
