klarrja 's review for:
Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone
by Diana Gabaldon
I really wish Goodreads could do half stars, for me this was a 4.5 star book.
No, this isn't a sweeping, comprehensive story. But the Outlander books haven't really been that for the last 6 books, and I personally like that.
Gabaldon still has a strong sense of who her characters are, and I enjoy getting to spend time with them. There are still moments that make me chuckle, that make me misty eyed, and that get me in the heart, which is what I think the book sets out to do.
Light spoiler and then spoiler explained: ACTUAL
major SPOILER:
yes, I'd like it if DG had a concept of a character beat other than 'stubborn', but I really felt for all the character moments and stories.

I was glad to have one thing spoiled for me (by my choice) before starting the book, and I think it made me enjoy it more than others.major SPOILER:

The title, the hype, and stuff in the book seems to hint that Jamie or Claire (really Jamie) could die in the book, especially in a battle at the end. He survives, the book covers the battle, Jamie almost dies but he doesn't. not being stressed about this honestly made the book more enjoyable.yes, I'd like it if DG had a concept of a character beat other than 'stubborn', but I really felt for all the character moments and stories.
