More character than plot

While this book spanned 3ish years not much happens plot wise. That is to be expected because there were basically years of resentment with little skirmishes leading up to full rebellion. On the character front there is no shortage of mishaps that happens to each and every person on Fraser’s ridge. Murder, rape, kidnapping, etc etc. The next book is bound to have more action since we end this book at the end of 1776.

4.5

I think this is my favorite book in the series so far. Engaging and gut-wrenching. The plot was so much better than whatever the hell DG tried to do with TFC, and it was more focused on Jamie and Claire and their family. Some of my favorite JC moments came out of this book, as well as some really tender family moments, which is all I really want for these babies 🥺

I could have done without the numerous references to Claire's and Brianna's arses. But, overall, I really enjoyed this book.
