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.

I won't lie, after book 5, I was nervous about reading this book. But to my utter surprise and delight, it was nonstop action. I didn't want to stop reading.

As always, I love Claire. She is such a great character, and I love seeing how she attempts to apply her modern medical knowledge to the past. I also liked seeing how Brianna did the same with her engineering skills.

Roger, who I couldn't stand in Fiery Cross, had a great character arc in the book that I appreciated.

Also, that ending?! What?! I did NOT see that coming.

I do think this book could have been a smidgen shorter. I also think the author could take a bit more care when it comes to discussing race, which has been a consistent issue for me.
