"In her now classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon told the story of Claire Randall, an English ex-combat nurse who walks through a stone circle in the Scottish Highlands in 1946, and disappears into 1743. The story unfolded from there in seven bestselling novels, and CNN has called it "a grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across [centuries]." Now the story continues in Written in My Own Heart's Blood. 1778: France declares war on Great Britain, the British army leaves Philadelphia, and George Washington's troops leave Valley Forge in pursuit. At this moment, Jamie Fraser returns from a presumed watery grave to discover that his best friend has married his wife, his illegitimate son has discovered (to his horror) who his father really is, and his beloved nephew, Ian, wants to marry a Quaker. Meanwhile, Jamie's wife, Claire, and his sister, Jenny, are busy picking up the pieces. The Frasers can only be thankful that their daughter Brianna and her family are safe in twentieth-century Scotland, or not. In fact, Brianna is searching for her own son, who was kidnapped by a man determined to learn her family's secrets. Her husband, Roger, has ventured into the past in search of the missing boy never suspecting that the object of his quest has not left the present. Now, with Roger out of the way, the kidnapper can focus on his true target: Brianna herself. Written in My Own Heart's Blood is the brilliant next chapter in a masterpiece of the imagination unlike any other"--

Pues ya que importa, no es noticia nueva que estos libros son súper largos, pero aquí continuamos. Y la nota tan alta tal vez sea por mi crisis lectora de meses y que con éste libro no pude parar de leer a pesar la cantidad de páginas. ¿Debería tener menos estrellas? Si, tal vez. Y en esa cantidad de páginas de que pasan cosas, pasan muchas cosas, pero si me preguntan ya acabado el libro: ¿Qué tanto ha avanzado la historia? La verdad, no sé.
Será que ya siento a los personajes como parientes (excepto William que si me desespera un poco desde el libro pasado), pero es alguien que hace mucho que no ves y viene a ponerte al corriente de su historia; un pariente que no para de hablar y te tiene sentado horas y horas.
Si le encuentro problemas al ritmo, teniendo capítulos con largas descripciones, siguiendo a los personajes ir y venir para luego tener otros capítulos donde se narran los hechos después y de pasada. A estas alturas creo que no hay mucho que decir, ya estoy más para allá que para acá.
Diana Gabaldon and her story of Claire and Jaime continues to engross me. When I picked up this book I knew that I wouldn't be able to put it down. With the new collaboration between Audible and Amazon I didn't have to either. I really liked the fact that I could read the book and then listen to the book as needed seamlessly. The story between Jaime and Claire continues and we get updates on those around them from Brianna, Roger and their family to William, Lord John Grey and Ian. There we're laugh out loud parts, horrible illnesses and surgeries, heartbreaking deaths and the solid love story of Jaime & Claire. There are some tantalizing bits to hang on to for the future as well. I'm not sure if I'll be watching the TV series but I'm glad that many more people will be introduced to this World and the characters that the author has so richly created!
