Of Blood and Bone

Chronicles of The One, Book 2

By: Nora Roberts

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

Nora Roberts, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the epic Year One returns with Of Blood and Bone, a new tale of terror and magic in a brand new world.

They look like an everyday family living an ordinary life. But beyond the edges of this peaceful farm, unimaginable forces of light and dark have been unleashed.

Fallon Swift, approaching her thirteenth birthday, barely knows the world that existed before - the city where her parents lived, now in ruins and reclaimed by nature since the Doom sickened and killed billions. Traveling anywhere is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. Those like Fallon, in possession of gifts, are hunted - and the time is coming when her true nature, her identity as The One, can no longer be hidden.

In a mysterious shelter in the forest, her training is about to begin under the guidance of Mallick, whose skills have been honed over centuries. She will learn the old ways of healing; study and spar; encounter faeries and elves and shifters; and find powers within herself she never imagined. And when the time is right, she will take up the sword, and fight. For until she grows into the woman she was born to be, the world outside will never be whole again.

Great ending for an exciting read!

Read all three of the series & enjoyed all of them. The last one, “Of Blood and Bone,” was my favorite.

Wow-didn’t think it could be better than the first!

I am a lover of books, my passion but this is the first review I have written. I was so sure that I would be disappointed only because so many times the sequel can lack the stamina of the first book. I was so wrong. If you are a fan of apocalyptic, Discovery of Witches, the Librarians, or really just want a great and entertaining novel, read this series. I am literally unable to wait for the next. Dear Nora I hope you can get this next book out soon, as I am impatiently waiting!

Much Improved!

Having awaited the release of book w with a touch of dread -- book 1 having been unrelenting darkness, death, and destruction -- book 2 turns out to be a relief -- and a good tale. Darkness and Light are balanced in this story, and while the characters are less than real in development, there are glimmers that they will appear fully fleshed in the third and final book.

I ha e preferred Ms. Roberts fantasy fiction that involved adults, regardless of the setting or how fantastic the premise. These books center on adolescents, and as such may be more appropriate for high school age readers.

Keeps getting better

I’m a huge Hunger Games and Twilight fan and this trilogy is almost up there with those. Totally different and unique post apocalyptic story. Julia Whelan is my favorite narrator and she makes the book even better.

awesome
