Year One: Chronicles of the One, Book 1

I expected so much more than end of the world fantasy story. Predictable and immature.

This is an excellent book.

This book is the beginning of a new series of a great story written by my very favorite author Nora Roberts. She has an uncanny way of spinning unnatural with fantasy that makes you believe it could happen. I highly recommend you read this book.

This was my first ever Nora Roberts book, and I was not disappointed! At this point I have pretty much tired of traditional dystopian stories, but the biological/infectious basis of this story drew me in and I enjoyed it so much as someone who loves medicine and science. I enjoyed the perspectives given from different characters, and although I found Lana annoying at first (I identified way more with Arlys) I found her character development to be quite impressive over the course of the story. Descriptions were vivid and I had great pictures of what was happening in my mind! I actually cried at one point in the story too, so I would say I am a fan of Nora Roberts' writing style. I am looking forward to the sequel!
