I love the relationship between Jamie and Claire. But, it took me awhile to finish this one.
Would recommend it if you have read the other books in the series. I will finish the series, but I am going to take a break from it.
Better than Book 5, barely. Not as meandering but still unfocused. These subsequent books fail to have the momentum of Book 1 and spend chapters doing absolutely nothing for me.
Anyone who knows anything about this series knows the books are forever long. Just finishing one feels like a major accomplishment. That said, I do mostly enjoy this series... this installment maybe more than the last two. There were certainly sections where I had to force myself to continue reading (having already seen the series, I already knew, at least in the broadest sketches, what was coming), other stretches where nothing much seemed to happen, and still others where I lost myself for hours in the story and hardly came up for air. After plodding through the first half over the course of a month, I read the last half in about four days.
I still love Jamie & Claire, but I feel like the series is never going to end and I'm ready to get to the end of the story. Lots of dialogue and action that don't seem to give us any more insights into the characters or move the story forward, or even tell us interesting events from history.
