It cannot be read as a standalone. In this installment, Fallon Swift, the One, has come into her power and is consolidating her army to spread the light and remove the forces of darkness in the form of the Purity Warriors, Raiders and corrupt government and military. While this trilogy has been entertaining overall, the 2nd and 3rd books do not live up to the expectations set by the 1st book. Year One is a spellbinding read as the scope of the deadly Doom makes its mark on the world and the characters. Unfortunately, the tension and suspense that characterize that book decrease in books 2 and 3, which focus more on Fallon as she fulfills her destiny. This inevitably results in the rest of the cast taking a back seat. This is unfortunate, as they are the reason book 1 is so engaging. The romance between Fallon and Duncan, which has such potential in Of Blood and Bone fizzles out as the two simply accept that they are destined for each other and conveniently fall in love. Finally, there are simply too many redundant descriptions of the conflict between the forces of light and dark as well as repetitious prophecies and speeches to motivate the combatants. It is just too much of the same. Despite these issues, the trilogy is enjoyable and fans of Nora Roberts will have a good time with it.

"The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Year One and Of Blood and Bone concludes her stunning new trilogy praised as "A match for end-of-the-world classics like Stephen King's The Stand." After the sickness known as the Doom destroyed civilization, magick has become commonplace, and Fallon Swift has spent her young years learning its ways. Fallon cannot live in peace until she frees those who have been preyed upon by the government or the fanatical Purity Warriors, endlessly hunted or locked up in laboratories, brutalized for years on end. She is determined to save even those who have been complicit with this evil out of fear or weakness-if, indeed, they can be saved. Strengthened by the bond she shares with her fellow warrior, Duncan, Fallon has already succeeded in rescuing countless shifters and elves and ordinary humans. Now she must help them heal-and rediscover the light and faith within themselves. For although from the time of her birth, she has been The One, she is still only one. And as she faces down an old nemesis, sets her sights on the enemy's stronghold, and pursues her destiny-to finally restore the mystical shield that once protected them all-she will need an army behind her..."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
