I love this series. I really enjoyed this book. There was less adventure although there were still high stakes and crazy things happening it all felt more homely which I enjoyed reading. The little details of monotonous life in the North Carolina backcountry. It made me warm to the characters of Roger and Briana far more. This book really solidified the readers concern for those two characters. You are rooting for them just as much as you are for Jamie and Claire. Also the amount of detail is amazing make me wonder at how long it took to research for a book like this!!!

I had more fun watching paint dry than seeing the plot move in this book. It seems that the story just dragged on without a clear path for the plot. I am so disappointed that I had to leave a review.

I liked The Fiery Cross, but I don't know that it was my favorite in the Outlander series so far. It seemed like it dragged on a bit more than the other books. I still enjoyed it, but it felt heavy on the day to day stuff. I don't think my interest was fully peaked until around halfway in the book, which given the length is a while to only be somewhat interested in it. Once I was finally hooked the pace picked up quite a bit. There's a lot that happens in the last two hundred pages that has me eager to read the sixth book.

Good god I thought I would never get through this book. It's not to say that it wasn't interesting in parts, but it didn't need all those parts. I feel like the POV with Roger was completely unneeded and the book would have benefitted greatly from its absence. I also think that there were too many plotlines to try to throw together in one book, with the wedding mystery, the uprising, Steven Bonnet, Roger's ailments, etc. All of these overshadowed the real important story to me which was about the stones and the travelers. Ugh, I'm just annoyed that I had to go through 55 hours to finally get to that point. I need a break from this series for a while.
