beckcatbooks's review against another edition

4.5

This is one of the stronger books in the series, but still could have done with wayyyyyy less of the subplots. But the Jamie & Claire stuff was GOOD, and it was so lovely to see them with many of their kids and grandkids. I didn't even mind the Brianna & Roger & kids arc. The return to home at the end of the book for all of these characters was just 🥹🥹🥹. Now let my babies REST.

Competent writing, good researching but too bloody long! And I still hate her pacing in the last hundred pages. I did appreciate that I could hear Hamilton playing in my head but Claire is still supercilious and able to fix everything ven in the eighteenth century and I don’t get bri and roger’s timeline. We didn’t need William at all and the same stuff keeps happening to Claire and Jamie! They’re walking targets and at some point, that doesn’t happen as often as it does to them. It’s just overly done and I skimmed a solid half of this book because it was extraneous.
