Book Review: Of Blood and Bone by Nora Roberts
By Corrina Lawson
December 10, 2018
Of Blood and Bone by Nora Roberts is the 2nd book in the Chronicles of the One series set in a post-apocalyptic world and the one person who might be able to save everyone.
While the first book of Nora Roberts’ Chronicles of the One series, Year One, dealt with the apocalypse caused by the Doom, a magical plague that wiped out a massive swath of humanity, the second in the series, Of Blood and Bone, focuses on the rise of the next generation.
Middles are tough. Coming of age stories of destined youths, like the main character of Of Blood and Bone, can also be difficult to write. But the book provides unexpected (and sometimes delightful) twists that I won’t spoil but they certainly fit with the familial theme that is present throughout. Those family bonds are what give the story resonance.
As the blurb reveals, the book focuses on Fallon Swift, the baby born at the end of Year One who’s destined to be The One, the magical leader who will bring order to the chaos caused by the Doom. And with enemies on all sides, that’s not going to be an easy undertaking. As seen in the first book, some people were transformed by the Doom into nightmares come to life and became corrupted by their new powers. One of those who let power corrupt, Fallon’s uncle, killed her father at the end of Year One.
There are also the humans who, on (a usually religious) principal, hate anyone with magical capabilities and seek to wipe them out, no matter what it takes. And last, there’s a third faction, a government of sorts, that has control of what remains of the American military force. This government views anyone with magic as someone to be controlled, experimented on, and perhaps used as a weapon.
Saving the world won’t be easy for Fallon. As the prologue notes, some people are going to be bad, no matter what.
But months became years, and the world remained broken. Hunts and raids and sweeps continued.
Some hid, skittering out at night to scavenge or steal enough to survive another day. Some choose to take to the roads in an endless migration to nowhere. Others took to the woods to hunt, to the fields to plant. Some formed communities that ebbed and flowed as they struggled to live in a world where a handful of salt was more precious than gold.
And some, like those who founded and formed New Hope, rebuilt.
That’s a heavy burden for anyone to handle, let alone at 13-year-old destined to be The One. To succeed, Fallon needs help and training, and it’s that need that leads her to a two-year internship away from the family farm—the only place she’s ever known. Much of the story in Of Blood and Bone focuses on Fallon and her two-year magical internship with the Welsh wizard Mallick. If you’re sensing a Merlin/Arthur-style relationship, you would be correct, though this one gender swaps Arthur. But Mallick isn’t simply a wizard-archetype. Instead, he comes to life as a gruff, intense, and eventually mortal man who bears the burden of ensuring The One is ready. Or, perhaps, ensuring that Fallon knows she has a choice and can turn away from the burden.
Many stories of pre-destined people often give the chosen one little choice in the matter, but Fallon does have to choose. She doubts herself, and she worries whether she can ever learn enough to be The One. But she also knows that if she turns away, then the tragedies caused by the Doom will continue, even at her idyllic family farm that has so far escaped notice by the various groups seeking power.
I don’t know enough. It’s why I have to go. I have to learn more. I have to, and I’m afraid. I’m so scared. They want to kill me and Mom. They killed my birth father. They’ll find me sooner or later. They could come here and find me. If anything happened to Mom and Dad, to you and Travis and Ethan…
Fallon’s story is juxtaposed with the tale of New Hope, where the survivors of the first book live and are still doing what they can to help others who want to knit the world—or their slice of it—back together. For readers of Year One, these segments are a chance to catch up with familiar characters and see what they’ve accomplished in fifteen years at New Hope, including seeing how the babies who were rescued in the original story have grown up.
She’d wondered why her precious twins held magicks when she didn’t, their father hadn’t. But over time, she’d seen children with no magickal parent bloom in gifts, and others born of magicks show no abilities.
It came through the blood and the bone, of that she was certain, but not always from the parent. She believed Duncan’s and Antonia’s great gifts came, like Tonia’s eyes, from her father, their grandfather. A good man who hadn’t known what ran in his blood or that the dark across the line would somehow use him to destroy.
Teenage Duncan is connected to Fallon by the visions they share and, probably, by past lives together. But their romantic connection in this book is slight, especially since the dangerous world barges into New Hope again at the end, causing more tragedy, and showing just how enormous the task ahead will be.
It may sound odd to call a book about a dystopian magical future hopeful, but Of Blood and Bone manages to do just that. Fallon’s family and the tight-knit community of New Hope are the literal hope of the future.
While Of Blood and Bone is clearly the middle chapter, it’s one that never struggles keeps the reader’s attention, thanks largely in part to one of Nora Roberts’ greatest strengths: characterization. There is one segment where Fallon’s mother is talking about the two men she loved that definitely caused me to tear up a bit. And the story also allows the older characters to shine, rather than giving way completely to youth which I, as an older reader, appreciated.
There are a few segments where Roberts switches point of view so quickly that I lost the thread of the narrative but that’s a small flaw in an otherwise excellent story.
You could potentially read this as a stand-alone but it would definitely be better to start with Year One instead. I’m hopeful the final volume of the trilogy will live up to the promise of the first two books. With Nora Roberts writing it, that seems like a safe bet.

Sounds great, look forward to reading!
On my to read list. Thank you for the review
Give me all the Nora Roberts books! Love her
Wonderful review. I remember reading Year One and how much it was touted as a “change” for the typical Nora Roberts story. I was surprised to find, by the end, that this statement was mostly true. This one sounds like it’ll keep on that surprising path.
I’m a registered member, just wanted to make sure it counted. Thanks!
Looking forward to reading this book
I wait impatiently for everything Nora Roberts writes!
This review makes me very excited to read the next book that comes out!

I read the1st one very different for Ms.Roberts and good!can t wait to read this one!
Nora Roberts is one-and-only and I am excited to read this one!!
I love Nora Roberts books. I am about half way through the first book in the series. Her books are really the only ones I have read since my car accident. I made it my goal to reach the point in recovery where I could read the books I love again.
I can’t wait to read this!
I love Nora Roberts! A new series I need to read.
Very much looking forward to the second book. Prior to Year One I assumed Roberts just wrote Harlequin type books. Ha! Not so much.
Wow! I’m so excited to read it!
Fabulous review! Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors and I was so excited when I heard she was starting a post-apocalyptic series. Year One was such a departure from what fans expect from her, but make no mistake — she’s such an incredible talent, no matter which genre she writes in.
I’m hoping “Santa” will leave this one under the tree for me!
Haven’t read yet, am looking forward to a new nail biter. Nora Roberts just makes my imagination run wild, isn’t that what all good writers are supposed to accomplish?
Ccjancola@gmail.com
I love Nora Roberts’ work!
Not my usual genre to read but I love everything Nora Roberts has written so I’m willing to give it a try.
Can’t wait to read this one.
I am re-reading year one. Before starting Of Blood and Bone. Whether writing as Nora Roberts or JD Robb- she always takes you on a journey of great adventure and hope.
Can’t go wrong with Nora Roberts!
This has been on my “want to read” list for ages!
Great!
I’d love to read it.
Please enter me in this sweepstakes.
Thanks —
I’m a big fan of Nora Roberts & I’m very excited to continue this story, especially after your informative review! Happy holidays!
Already on my TBR, and this just solidified it.
Thanks for the wonderful. Wonderful insight without any spoilers. Have been waiting so long for book 2.
Love her books. Thanks for the chance to win.
Have the first, now can start to read it now that the second is coming out.
Nice to see Roberts branching out from romance… this looks like a winning series.
This is definitely on the top of my TBR list!💗
Fantabulous review! I can’t wait to get my hands on this… hoping Santa puts it under our tree!
Happy Holidays~

Cannot wait to read this one. I couldn’t put the first down. Am actually about to re read it
Looks like another great book from Nora is almost here! Love her writing and winning this would make reading it even more enjoyable.
What a great fantasy! Would love to read the series! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Pleeeease let it be me! :”-)
Middle books really are tough.
I always enjoy her books and would love to win new one
I have read all the magical and paranormal books by Nora Roberts and based on this review fully believe this takes her worlds to a new level. In the same manner the J. D Robb “Death” books have done in giving romance a new path to the growth of love between one man and one woman. The review makes this book so enticing. I can’t wait to read it.
I have been holding onto Year One, hope I win this one and wait for the conclusion so I can binge on this trilogy. I love Nora Roberts books.
Waiting impatiently for Of Blood and Bone. Year One left me wanting the rest of the story!
Blood and Bone will be under my tree Christmas morning 😀
A new Nora Roberts book and chocolate, I can’t wait!!
this will make a great addition to my collection-thank you for the opportunity to win this excellent book.
What a mind Nora Roberts has to be able to create characters and places like she does. Love anything that has her name on it. Great review.
I love all Nora Roberts books, no matter what name she uses. I expect this book will be the same excellence as all the others.
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like a good read
I am anxiously waiting for a copy from the library…
I’ve got the first book in the series, and I’m looking forward to reading the next one! Good luck to all!
Can’t wait to read. Makes waiting for X-Mas hard. Tradition in the family is 1 book for X-mad to start the new year
Can’t wait to read it! Been reading Nora Roberts for ever and she doesn’t disappoint! Love the review, left me chomping at the bit to read it…
Ooh this is right up my alley!
I loved this new book!! I missed my TV shows last night to keep reading!! I hope book 3 is quick to come!!
After reading Year One I am super excited for this book. I feel like everyone I know is reading it! Darn you long library hold lists!
I have read all of the Nora Roberts / J.D. Robb books. I love her style and characters. Year One was wonderful and I can’t wait for Of Blood and Bone. Great Review.
Year One was so different from anything else that I have read lately. I have been anxiously been awaiting the sequel to continue the story!
Can’t wait to read book 1 and 2
Love Nora Roberts….
definitely a must read
This is a great review. I can’t wait to read it!
I look forward to reading this series. JD Robb/ Nora Roberts are the best.
I got the first book, Year One, as an early reader last year, and I’m not normally a big Nora Roberts fan, but I loved it! Hope I can win the second one!
Oh, if only this book were reality, and we weren’t facing the far worse earthwide outcomes of the next 100-500-1000 years….
This looks like a good read

This review makes the book very intriguing to me.
Can’t wait to read the second book in the series. Thanks for the opportunity!
This was a great review; though I am a reader of all things Nora, I’ll admit I was skeptical about this new series and didn’t pick it up. I’ll be going back to read from the beginning.
After the controversy recently I am looking to check out Nora Robert’s book!
Would love a win.
I love the review on this book it looks like it will live up to the expectations!
Love the review! Thanks!
Love the review, sounds amazing!
Thank you for the review, can’t wait to read the book.
Nora Roberts talent to turn words into worlds filled with characters that live, breathe and experience things we have never even thought of is amazing. We get to go with the characters and become part of the story and world they are living. Her trilogies are amazing and being apart of them is fantastic. I am always so sad when I am done with the current installment and waiting on the next. Love everything Nora writes.
Can not wait for this book.
I love Nora Roberts books.

Love Nora Roberts! Great review and I am looking forward to reading it.
I need this book! Yes!

I love a good thriller!
Wow! I really enjoyed that review! This book sounds more like something from J.D. Robb, but it sounds utterly fantastic and down to earth at the same time. This series is definitely going onto my TBR list. I am looking forward to getting and reading this series. Nora Roberts has never disappointed.

I love Nora Roberts.
I loved the first book! It was so different from anything she has ever written! It kept me so intrigued I read it in a day! This review makes me very excited to read the new one. I cannot wait to see what happens with the characters and how the story will develop! If I could win this it would make my ENTIRE year! It has been so hard recently and winning a book from my favourite author in the world would be everything to me!
Can’t wait! I too love everything she writes.
First review I have ever read, I trust my own judgement be it books, film etc. Since Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors and I loved Year One, I was interested in what you had to say. I am pleased even with your noting the flaw in the books quick switches from point of view. Which I’m looking forward to see if I agree.
I’ve started book two after being impressed with the quality of book one. So far book is equal or better than book one
I can’t wait to read this, I’ve been waiting since finishing up Year One, so excited!
I’ll put this on my to read list. Already have book one
I am so excited for year two. Loved the first book and can’t wait to start this one. Thanks Nora for another great book series.

I think this series so far is great…thanks.
Year One was a great book! Can’t wait to read “Of Blood and Bone”!
Looks like another great one by Nora Roberts!
I am a BIG Nora Roberts fan. This series is bound to be her best work yet!
I am so excited for this new book! I’ve collected all her books in English, read about 90% of what I own, and I can’t get enough of her. I have also read her books in Portuguese and Spanish and I can only say that no one does better than her. I read the first book and I’m ready for this one. I can’t wait to see how things continue.
Can’t wait to read it!
Sounds like a remarkable read! can’t wait for this one.

I am currently reading this book. I have to force myself to close the book before bed or I will be late for work the next morning due to staying up all night reading until I got to the end.
Fresh fingers használat
You actually revealed this wonderfully!
Nora Roberts is an amazing versatile writer. I would be grateful to read and share.

This sounds like an unusual series by Nora Roberts, but I think it’ll be interesting!
This sounds amazing! Can’t wait to read it.
I was so eager to get The One, I ordered 2 copies. And when those took too long, I ordered the Kindle edition. I don’t expect to be any more patient for Of Blood and Bone!
Always eagerly awaiting the next Nora Roberts novel! This one is no exception.
I can’t wait to read this one!! I love Nora’s tales!!
Very good book. Nora weaves Book One into Blood and Bone flawlessly. The twists and turns keep you guessing and wanting more. Loyalty, family and the magical elements all tie together in a war laden plot. Can’t wait for the 3rd book.
I’ve heard good and bad things about this series, I’ll have to try it out!

I absolutely loved the first book and look forward to reading the 2nd! Of course I am HUGE Nora Roberts fan!
I have been waiting for this book since the second I finished the first book (which I luckily received as an ARC). I would love to win this and be able to continue the journey of Fallon, Mallick, and the rest!! Ms. Roberts really went above and beyond in writing this story!!
I may re-read Year One, just to refresh myself in anticipation of “Of Blood and Bone”. Nora Roberts is my favorite author, and I can’t wait for this next in the trilogy.
Always ready for more Nora Roberts.
Love Love LOVE this story!!
I read the first one. I can’t wait to read this one!!
A great review – informative without giving away the story Anxiously awaiting my chance to read Nora’s latest
Looking forward to the complete series.
This series is definitely going on my TBR list!
Nora Roberts [[hugs]] my favorite author! Loved Year One- can’t wait to see what happens next!
Oh my…LOVED last years book but reading this review makes me think I need to RE-READ it…wow.
I can’t wait till Of Blood and Bone is released. I loved the first one. I love ALL of Nora Roberts/JD Robb’s books. I can’t seem to put them down and end up reading them in at least 2 days. I keep saying to myself “ one more chapter and I’ll go to sleep” and I end up reading till my eyes will no longer stay open. Lol . Her books truly are addicting
For many years now the only books I have been reading are by Nora Roberts & J D Robb. I just love her
For many years now the only books I have been reading are by Nora Roberts & J D Robb. I just love her!!
i like all of Nora’s Books and all of her J D Robb book also
great review— This series is so different from so many of Nora’s books– more like JD Robb with a twist—can’t wait to read !
I am so excited! Year One was on my TBR list forever before the waiting list died down at the library. Now I can’t wait for this one. Got to have some Nora Roberts/JD Robb sprinkled heavily in my reading!
I love all things Nora does but I think she has outdone herself with this series!
Really love her books!
I have been anxiously anticipating book 2 of Nora Roberts Chronicles of the One, since reading book 1, Year One. She has always been one of my favorite authors & I think that this new series is amazing!
I loved the first book and can’t wait to read this one!
Sounds interesting! Thanks for the chance!
Looks like a great series! 🙂
Hmm, trilogy.
Another author to add to my TBR list – thank you for the contest.
I’ll get to read it when my mom is done. She hates it when I spoil a mystery.
Another great Nora Roberts book to add to my collection! Thanks for the chance!
Love Nora Roberts books!
I would like to win her new book.
Love Nora Roberts! Would love to win and read this awesome book!
I had not heard of “The One” nor of “Blood and Bone” and I am truly happy to receive this e-mail. I must find Book 1 to buy!
Corrina Lawson’s review is like a sweet being dangled in front of me, enticing me to reach out and taste it! Already a Nora Robert’s fan but this is a new genre of hers for me and I was hesitant to test the waters. Ms. Lawson’s review swept away that hesitation! Going to treat myself to Year One and cross my fingers I have a chance at winning Of Blood and Bone!
I cannot wait to read the next installment in the Chrònicles of One series books. Thank you for the review!
Looking forward to adding this to my collection.
Can’t wait to read this
