"I am happily writing this review within a half hour of finishing this novel simply because I am glad I finally got through it! Long gone are the days I could polish off a nearly 1000 page book within a few days. Grownup responsibilities kept me from finishing this behemouth of a book sooner than I would have liked--a whopping two weeks!
Once again I entered the world of Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall but, as I began, I find Claire back in 20th century Scotland, twenty years after her initial disappearance. What had happened? When I last left them, Claire and Jamie had escaped to France and were in the process of planning their next step. I realized that something had gone horribly amiss in the 18th century I would have to keep reading to find out.
Diana Gabaldon does not disappoint in this second novel. The plot continues to move at a steady pace, slowing down twice during the story but jumpstarts once new characters and situations are introduced. John Randall is back, as is the Duke of Sandringham and the roguish Dougal Mackenzie. New characters are introduced in the persons of Brianna Randall (Fraser), Roger Mackenzie, and Alex Randall. Gabaldon keeps the action going with surprising new plot twists as does the constant passionate antagonism between Jamie and Claire.
Great read--even with the often mentioned smirk or corner of mouth twitching everyone does."
"This series is so well researched, well written and the characters so faultlessly realistic, you will not be able to put the book down. I'm in my fourth (or is it the fifth?) reading of the series. I hope I won't need to start over again from the first book before "Echo in the Bone" comes out. It's historically accurate, imaginative and just plain good reading."
"I love this series of books about Claire and Jamie. The information that Diana offers to her readers is historic and just chocked full of so much more. I hate for each book to end, but look forward to the next. Unfortunately, the lives of these wonderful characters will have to come to an end someday, that will be a sad one for me."
"Diana Gabaldon is truly talented. I wish I could afford a trip to Scotland inspired by this book. I would find myself taking longer lunch hours to squeeze in reading. I would highly recommend it!"
