iampixelgirl 's review for:
Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone
by Diana Gabaldon
Well that was…uninspiring? Why was there SO. MUCH. RELIGION?! I felt like I was reading a Christian novel. Not that there’s anything wrong with that if that’s your jam, but…it seemed a little excessive. And definitely got on my nerves after a while. Was everyone a preacher in their spare time in the 1700s?
If all her books have a shape I’d say this one is a figure eight - just going around and around in a never ending spiral. ¾ of the book literally nothing happens, and what does doesn’t make any real sense. Huge build up for things that go nowhere (heart trouble followed by a completely uneventful birth?), reintroduction of bland characters, and basically NOTHING HAPPENS. Truly, what was the point of this book?
Of course having said all of that I love the series and was still happy to fall back into her world. But overall it was disappointing.
