As with all Gabaldon books, it was grant writing. LJG was an interesting character in the books but I don't feel he was worth a whole series of books for himself. That being said, if you liked Lord John in the books, you will probably like this series. I just wasn't interested in him enough to want to read stand alone books mainly about him. Just my opinion.

As Always, Another Great Gabaldon Work

I cannot get enough of Diana Gabaldon’s research or her writing style. I have tremendous respect for her craft. This was my first Lord John Book, but definitely not my last!

Boring. So boring. I think I'll take a break from Lord John for a while.

2.5 stars. Wanted to like it but just found it a bit boring and didn't really care about any of the characters.
