Diana Gabaldon

I don't know how she does it, but Gabaldon manages to make both nothing and everything happen in 900 pages. Enjoyable, but this is clearly leading up to a bigger and juicier conclusion.

Great cast of characters.

Galbaldon has done it again. She draws you into a world filled with interesting people that you care about. The writing is sharp
and fast paced for a book approaching 1,000 pages. Dread the thought of waiting for the next installment. I have read each of the first eight books twice, but find the Outlander world soothing whenever I enter it.

I really enjoyed this book in the series and it felt like it read a lot faster than the other books. Maybe that’s because I often listened to it while stuck nursing and nap trapped? Either way, I liked that while all of the families were finally reunited and together, they still had time to develop their own stories too. I wish the plot line about why Bri and Roger left had a little more in the book than at the very end…but I’m assuming that will be tied up in the next book? I did go into this book thinking it was the last in the series and was surprised to see a big cliffhanger at the end. I’m hoping the next (and rumored to be the last??) book will be here soon!
