Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon

4.0

I liked this second installment of the Lord John series better than the first, in that it had more of a solid plot that kept me interested and there was more of a story for me to follow. Percy was introduced to me in Go Tell the Bees That I am Gone, and his and John's interactions in that book made me curious to know where their story started and how they came to be at that place. This book focuses a lot on John and Percy's relationship, which I liked. There's romance, which there wasn't in the first book. I still love how Diana Gabaldon writes, and once again I think it's accurate to the genre of historical fiction.

I liked Jamie's appearances in this book, too, but one conversation he had with John bothered me a bit. And there were places in the story where it dragged and I felt my eyes wanting to skip over. Overall, though, better than the first, and a good insight into Lord John's character.
