This may have been the first Nor Robert's book that I really enjoyed! Year One very much reminds me of Stephen King's, The Stand. It's a dystopian novel about the end of civilization from a plague and the battle for good and evil. There is a lot more magic in this book however. Lots of people who survive the doom (the plague) have found themselves blessed with powers. Many are witches, wizards, elves, and fairies. Not all though were blessed. Some are just ordinary people and they don't take kindly to those with powers. They call them the uncanny and blame them for the plague. Lana and Max along with some others, flee New York City to get away from the raiders and those that wish to use their powers for evil. Along the way they pick up many other people and look forward to starting a community of their own. One that will be safe. How safe can anyone be in a world like this though? A good story, but I may wait a while before I dive into the other two books in the series!
