Review: Of Blood and Bone

Of Blood and Bone by Nora Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The middle book of a trilogy is always a bit strange. This one skims over most of the ten years since the end of the previous book, reintroducing us to a few main players from last time and the new characters of this one. I did find it a challenge to remember who a few of the characters were, although that's probably more about me than about Roberts' skill.

A few moments jarred me, such as Fallon being on the end of three angry kisses from two different guys, and her calling her uncle's woman a whore. On the whole, though, this was an enjoyable read, tense in spots, and I'm very much looking forward to reading the final title in a year's time.


I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.


She learned of a world that had existed before her birth. A world crowded with people, a world of huge cities with towing buildings where people had lived and worked. In that world people had traveled routinely by air and sea and road and track. Some had even traveled into space, and to the moon that hung in the sky.

Her mother had lived in a great city, in the City of New York. Fallon knew from the stories told, from the books she devoured, it had been a place full of people and noise and light.

A wonder of a place to get, one she viewed to see someday.

She imagined it often at night when she lay awake watching the fairies dance outside her window.
