I cried out in dismay when I turned the last page of this one. (There are 10+ pages of author's notes and acknowledgements at the end so I didn't realize how close I was to the finish.) I have so enjoyed this series that I'm planning to start over at the beginning. Claire and Jaime may be my favorite fictional couple. If you haven't read the series and enjoy a good saga, start with Outlander and enjoy the ride! If you are a reader, don't miss this one where lots of loose ends are wrapped up.

Absolutely fantastic, of course; maybe the best in the series. Lots of this book takes place during the revolutionary war in the U.S. All the important characters of the Outlander series are brought back to life and put to right. I want more, more, more!

How does she keep all the threads of the resourceful, loving and complicated family going? GREAT READ. From the 20th century to the 18th, from Scotland to COlonial/revolutionary America, the adventures continue. So enjoyed seeing how all the Frasers and kin overcome challenges and adversity with love and honor.

I put off reading this book because of the length and the fact that some of the recent books in the series have been a disappointment. I shouldn't have waited. In my opinion, this is one of the best books in the series. Now that they're involved in the American Revolution, we get to meet historical figures like George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette. Without giving too much away; we also get to revisit some of my favorite characters who have not been in recent books. This was the first book I've read since the TV series started. With that fresh in my mind, I could really appreciate had Gabaldon has realistically evolved her characters as they age, while still staying true to their original inception. I won't put off reading the next book.
