A review by scottk1222
Year One by Nora Roberts
4.0
I'm not really a big fan of dystopian novels, or reading about the end of things asbwe know them. However I have now found the Trifecta of said novels. The Stand, Station 11 and now Year One. All three are very character driven stories. Like, could you imagine The Stand without Mother Abigail, Tom Moon or The Trashcan Man??
I think that what made this one unique is the rising of the Magicks, the Uncanny Folk, and the way the plague,called "The Doom" here, came about. I thoroughly enjoyed my first attempt at a Nora Roberts book as well, even knowing that most are not like this. The pacing and plot twists were on point making me not want to stop reading, and thinking about the book when not reading it. I only saw maybe one of the twists (but actually hoped I was wrong, I wasn't). I have book 2 of the series on my shelf and look forward to reading it!
