When I'd watch Degrassi, I'd be like "does this all really happen in high school? Because this is wild that is not my experience." I have the same feeling about The Fiery Cross. A lot happens. The first like 18 chapters are all the same day. Jamie and Claire get struck by lightning and seemingly does not add to the plot. Most loose ends ARE STILL LOOSE. It is pretty unbelievable to fit so much into one's life.

But, I love Gabaldon's writing, her characters, the emotion. Do I regret reading this nearly 1000 pg, 5th in the series book? No. And I will probably read the next one.
