It seems like we've been waiting so long for Diana Gabaldon's next book, so I was very excited to download this novella! While there's no mention of Claire or Jaime, we get to meet a very wee Roger and learn more about his parents. I have always thought that there was more to Jerry MacKenzie's story, especially, and it seems I was right! I don't want to give anything away, but I was very excited when I figured out who two strangers - one dark and one fair - were. There's also an interesting cameo from another Outlander character.

My only criticism is that IT IS TOOOO SHORT!! I loved being back there. I neeeeeeeeed more!!!
Love these side stories fleshing out characters from her books.
maybe it was lacking Davina Porter's voice or maybe I've come to expect more detail - this was a okay but didn't shed much more into the story than we had from the series (except of course the end).
adventurous
emotional
fast-paced
Curiouser and curiouser. I wonder how/if Gabaldon is going to tie up all the threads she has pulled loose in this series....

3 1/2 stars
I like to think that the author wrote this book on a dare to see if she was able to write something of substance under 60 pages. I say this because anyone who has read books in the Outlander series knows how much she loves rambled storylines. Don’t get me wrong, I really adore the series but have promised myself I would never read another of her books after book 1. The audio versions are just so much better. But trust me, you can read this in under an hour and be totally satisfied when done.
This is the novella of what really happened to Rodger’s parents and I have to say out of the two novellas I have read in the Outlander series this is definitely the more worthwhile one to read.
I won’t say more but if you like the series then you HAVE to read this too but only after book 8.

It was a quick enjoyable read. I was curious about Roger's father after the hint Claire dropped in the Outlander series (can't remember which one). I liked the side books about Lord John. This really was a short story but it did satisfy my curiosity about Jerry MacKenzie.
