5.0

Seven years between books in a series is a long time. Masterful writer that she is, Diana Gabaldon does not miss a beat in adding tidbits throughout this tome, which remind readers of things in past books of this series. Many writers will rehash happenings ad nauseam. Not the case here. Gabaldon nicely blends historical facts and people with the lives of her characters. For "Bees" the American colonies are in the throes of the revolutionary war with Great Britain. Eventually, the war catches up to the residents of back country.

The author makes her books fun with facts of the time whether it be cooking, medicine or making whiskey. Slaintѐ.
