This was another solid entry in this series, though I think this is the first one I’ve read that hasn’t reduced me to a blubbering mess at one point or another. However, the lack of extreme emotion doesn’t take anything away from the story. It seems that life has fallen into a sort of routine (if anything in Jamie and Claire’s lives could ever be considered “routine”), with the specter of the Revolutionary War looming in the distance.

I've read these books via the audio series and that's probably how I managed through this one. I really have enjoyed the story lines and the characters, but I found myself confused by who was who in this novel and what was always going on.

Wow! What a powerful read, you get sucked right in on page one. She writes so descriptively! Sometimes that leads to some very graphic, stomach turning scenes but it's all part of the journey. The thing about Gabaldon, at least with this series, is tha she leaves lusting for more.

Not my favorite of the series, but still very interesting! And of course, you are left wondering, so you have to pick up the next in the series! Think I'm going to take a little break and read some other stuff for a few weeks though!

A very long and drawn out read. I love Gabaldon's work, but only read the series when I have a lot of time to devout. Beautiful writing and how can you not love Claire and Jamie?

Took me forever to finish this one. Not really any "big" event, so it was harder to keep the motivation going, but still, it's Jamie and Claire, so there's that. :)
