Year One, Of Blood and Bone, The Rise of Magicks by Nora Roberts

Year One, Of Blood and Bone, and The Rise of Magicks

2/5. Apocalyptic fantasy about the special girl born as disease wipes out billions. She will lead us all out of darkness using really terrible rhyming couplets and magicks (never magic, always magicks, that's how you know it's extra serious).

Nora Roberts is not good at fantasy, you guys. Parts of this are unintentionally hilarious – magic sparkly pregnancy test, anyone? – but parts are just cringey – see the poetry. Don't get me wrong, I read all of this, but it is probably relevant to note that my excellent sleeper baby is having a rough few days, snoozle-wise, so. Take that as you will.
