2000ace 's review for:

A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon

5.0

---

In the other five books in this series, the author's attention to historical detail has been impressive. In this book, Gabaldon leaves the romance genre behind, and writes a masterfully researched piece of historical fiction. Politics are at the crux of this story: a new nation is the pangs of coming together, while Jamie must decide whether he will remain a loyalist or fight with the revolutionaries. This is just as good a read as all of her other books, but there is something special in this one. The story just gets bigger and better with each successive volume.
