In book two, Roberts needs to set up her teenage savior, who is both the titular The One and the only hope for magickal people and the world. ![]() That’s not how the first book felt, and not what I would have preferred. But in the end, the focus on teens as saviors made it feel a lot like a YA series. Roberts carries the same characters throughout the series, in varying degrees. I also thought she did a credible job of discussing the dangers of marginalizing people who are other than ourselves. What I loved about Year One was the characters and the suspense. The following two books of the series were satisfying in some respects, and pretty pedantic in others. When I finally listened to the audiobook last fall, I thought it was a gripping 4-star combination of post-pandemic survivalist epic and magical (or magickal as Roberts spells it) fantasy. ![]() I never thought about Nora Roberts as a fantasy author until she published Year One in 2017. ![]()
