A review by elfbread
The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon
4.0
Well, let me start by saying that I tried something a bit different with this book than the earlier Outlander books. This time, I took my time reading the book, taking approximately a week to read The Fiery Cross. Compared to Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager, which I read in a couple days each, this was a much more relaxed pace. I think I'll continue to read at a slower pace, as I was able to enjoy this book more by taking it slowly. I was also able to enjoy some of the smaller nuances this way.
In general, here are my thoughts.
The Fiery Cross was definitely better than Drums of Autumn. There was more action in this book than Drums of Autumn, which felt like a filler novel at time. I really enjoyed the conflicts involving Stephen Bonnet and Jocasta/River Run. That added a lot to the book, and I was really not expecting what was found in Hector's mausoleum. I also really enjoyed the changes in the relationship between Jamie and Claire. However, at times, you just want to smack Claire for waiting 20 years to look for Jamie... so much wasted time!
I'll add more thoughts later. :)
