Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
