A Breath of Snow and Ashes
by Diana Gabaldon
So... I had to take a long, long break from Outlander after book 5. To recap, book five was a thousand pages of breast-feeding filler with maybe four chapters of important plot. So... let's over-correct it by making way too many dramatic/melodramatic storylines. It was good, a page-turner, but SO MUCH HAPPENED. And some of it was dwelled on for ages, and some would be a throw-away comment and you'd be like, wait, what? Roger's friendship with widows, for example. You don't realize there's trouble until Jamie's like, hey Roger, why don't you stay home every now and then? Or there are issues like Fergus's newborn child, which Fergus has a good cry over but barely any mention afterwards. But let's bring up the one time Louis XIV hit on Claire (didn't remember that from the second book, I'll take your word for it.) Lots of WTH moments, BUT Ms. Gabaldon got the memo that no one wanted another book full of breast-feeding and day-to-day without a little excitement. Maybe too much excitement, but hey! Revolution!!
