You know, normally by the 7th book in a series you get a little tired of the writing style and general themes of an author-but not with Diana Gabaldon. This is probably my favorite in the series since Outlander itself.
The strongest of the series so far. Much more tightly plotted, and having characters in different timelines was a nice twist. Otherwise, the same as before... sex, historical events, sex, and drama. It???s a good middle ground between high literature and brain candy
I'm a push-over for American revolutionary War epics, but I didn't appreciate the choppy ending in this one. Still, some big character moments happened in this one so overall a solid addition to the series.

This was the latest book in the series. Once again I think that it was entirely to long. I think that some things were put in the book that are so out of character for some of these characters. So many ends were left untied which is ok I guess since there will be another book but I hope that it's the last book in the series. I would really like to see the main characters, Jamie and Claire, at peace and enjoying their old age. There are so many things that happen to them that I feel sorry for them most of the time... and feel like some of this stuff is just unrealistic.
I almost didn't buy this one due to the reviews but I downloaded it on Kindle while I waited for the next book to arrive and I'm glad I did. Yes, I skimmed some parts. But in general I liked it. Lots of time with Jamie and Claire. I wish she had edited the series and each book to cut out at least a quarter of the material that does nothing to advance the story or even deepen my knowledge of the main characters, and while I've been thoroughly enjoying the series I do want the story to end at some point. This book's ending left many loose ends so I'm glad I waited to read it until the next in the series was published and I could start in immediately.
