Title: Of Blood and Bone Pdf Chronicles of The One, Book 2
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 magick 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.
You can skip this one This is only the 2nd time I have given less than a stellar review to one of NR books but this was a needless waste of my time. I specifically saved this to read on our long road trip at Christmas, but man was I disappointed. This book repeated the same thing over and over again until I was ready to pull my hair out. There was very little forward movement and the repetitive dialogue regarding the family importance was just more than I could stand. After the first 10 times believe me we get it, the family is important, the birth father was important, it just went on and on and on. I really loved the first one and I think she could have done so much more with this one, I’m just not sure why she didn’t. If you loved the first one then you can safely skip this bc she doesn’t offer anything of real value to the story here.A Great Read I won’t disagree with the one (1 star) review as we all are entitled to our opinions, most particularly about art in all of its many forms. I would, however, like to counter the suggestion/directive that Ms. Roberts exclusively write fiction that “makes sense”. I don’t understand this since a considerable part of her collection deals with the fantastical, such as witches and faeries. I will say that “Year One” (the first book in this series) was darker than Ms. Roberts’ usual work, but I quickly immersed myself in the story she was telling and realized that it, as with all her work, was well-written, descriptive and compelling. If you are on the fence, simply read the offered summary before committing as it properly gives a person a fine sense that “Of Blood and Bone” does not neatly fit in with Ms. Roberts’ usual “lighter” offerings, but to my way of thinking, it is nevertheless a great read.Great Series continues! I am not usually one to pick up a multi-book series until it is complete, which allows me to binge-read it all the way through. Nora Roberts’ second book in the Chronicles of The One series fooled me with the word “sequel” at the top of the cover. There is another book coming, and I guess we will all have to wait for it.Ms. Roberts did bring Book 2’s storyline to a close, avoiding a cliffhanger-like ending. The action and the constant danger in Book 1 takes a back seat to character development and setting up the story for an all-out war between the factions of black and white, good and evil. If you are one of the few who haven’t read Book 1 yet, my advice would be to start there. Although there are plenty of references back to the beginning of the story, you will not understand exactly who all the supporting and minor characters are, which will subtract from your enjoyment of what is an entertaining series.Fallon Swift is the focus of this book. She is The One, the warrior of the prophecies that promise of her coming to lead the army of light against the forces of darkness. “Of Blood and Bone” leads us on a journey through her years of training, and allows readers a deep look into the person who will undoubtedly be at the forefront of Book 3.This is not just another apocalyptic tale, although one might suspect this might be the case, what with the combination of emergent magic, declining civilization, and the resurrection of weapons of former wars. The author melds good storytelling and dialogue with descriptive passages that reveal much about the main characters.While I am personally not happy with the fact that I have to wait until Ms. Roberts’ fertile imagination can produce Book 3, this is a series worth reading. It combines realism with the fantastic, giving us a strong glimpse into a world that might never come to pass. Five stars.
