A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon

reydeam's review against another edition

5.0

I loved this book. Loved it! Loved it!
It captivated me. It amazed me. It pulled on my emotions. It had my heart racing. It left me sighing. It had me wondering and questioning as the story moved at a nice pace. It left me with answers. It left me knowing that Jamie and Claire are truly my most favorite fictional characters. It left me wanting to read more of their story. It left me in awe.

A Breath Of Snow And Ashes is the sixth book in the Outlander Series and yet it was fresh. What do I mean that it was fresh? Goodness, the characters are all the same, we are still in North Carolina during the mid-1770's. I mean, it was fresh in the sense that the storyline took us more and more into the lives of Jamie and Claire. The storyline was not once stagnate. The storyline was fulfilling and satisfying.

Yes, the story took my breath away as it filled me with details of daily life, historical aspects, the daily-emotional lives of the Fraser family. While the story was told from the view points of Claire, Jamie, Brianna and Roger - I felt a sense of connection with each character as they connected with one another. I felt this connection through their thoughts, fears, worry, laughter, joy and love.

Kidnapping, being accused of witchcraft, poisoning, rape . . . how much do Claire & Brianna have to endure? Seriously, it reached the point of ridiculousness and kept sailing right on past that in book 6. I enjoyed the mundane daily life parts of this one, but the "big violent event" portions made me want to stop reading. Does every bad thing in the world have to happen to a member of the Fraser clan?

The hardest part about this book is that it ends, and you have to wait for the next one!

It’s so long and I just could not get into it enough to justify listening to it for 57 hours…

These are just getting soooo long. I enjoyed it, but I’m wondering if some of the scenes could have been done without?

This book was so dang long. I think that some of this book could have been left out, but it was good.
