A Breath of Snow and Ashes
by Diana Gabaldon
WOW! So my last review of The Fiery Cross was pretty harsh, but going back, I won’t change a thing because I still stand by that review. ABOSAA though is a completely different matter. If Diana Gabaldon seemed to have lost her way and let her writing wander around aimlessly in The Fiery Cross, she found her way again in this book. Up until now Voyager has been my favorite book in the series. Since Voyager, the series started going downhill for me and I was starting to regret continuing. I am SO glad I pushed through and made it to A Breath of Snow and Ashes! What a beautiful, well-written story. It’s a long one, definitely an investment of time, but completely worth it. All of the characters came to life in real and complex ways. The book was chalked full of mystery, adventure, romance, and suspense. Closure was brought to many circumstances left open from previous books. Heartstrings were pulled on. This book was the whole package.
As a side note, I took a break and read other books between reading The Fiery Cross and ABOSAA. I think that helped a lot in regards to enjoying ABOSAA. I usually like to read entire series in one go, but these books are so long that I think a break every once in a while is a good thing. I don’t recommend reading them back-to-back.
