It took 400 pages to get to the main plot, then had about 300 pages of good story, then had a few 'ARE YOU KIDDING ME?' moments where I was going to hurl the book out the window. I don't like tropes that are thrown in just for the sake of throwing them in. There were certainly a few that were not necessary at all. Lord John, as always, was outstanding. He remains my favorite character in this entire series. ( ) This was at least the 3rd time I have read this. The first two times before I started my recording on goodreads apparently. I am working up to the new book coming out in June 2014, so I am gonna have to slow down, otherwise I will be done too early and have to start all over again. Not that that would be such a hardship.... This was a great book. I Gave this book a 4 because I felt that it could have had more action. it was more about Roger and Brianna and their love story. I did like the love story between them but I felt like that whole Stephen Bonnet part of it could have been left out and that baby Jeremiah could have been found to be Roger's son. I am excited to see what happens to all of them after the wedding at Jocasta's house. no reviews | add a review

Diana Gabaldon's fans will be delighted to find Jamie and Claire as spirited and endearing as ever in this fourth installment of this magnificent saga. Romance, history, and time travel blend once again as the couple builds a new life together in the wilderness of pre-Revolutionary America. Twice Claire has used an ancient stone circle to travel back to the 18th century. The first time she found love with a Scottish warrior but had to return to the 1940s to save their unborn child. The second time, twenty years later, she reunited with her lost love but had to leave behind the daughter that he would never see. Now Brianna, from her 1960s vantage point, has found a disturbing obituary and will risk everything in an attempt to change history. Davina Porter's narrative talent adds a special vibrance and resonance to Gabaldon's complex, colorful characters. If you've experienced Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, or Voyager), you already know the length of the book is deceptive. None of them is nearly long enough. No library descriptions found. |
