Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon

5.0

---

It’s hard to separately review this book on its own rather than as a part of a larger world created by Diana Gabaldon. If you are someone who has read this far in this series, you know and love so many of these characters as to make the love of them completely indistinguishable from the love of this time bendy sometimes-frivolous but always m-entertaining series. I will say, however, that it is so comforting and heartening to have an older women main character at the point with all her complexities, talents, desires, flaws, and urges. We’ve enjoyed watching the world develop around and within her for so many pages and, at this point, she and the other main characters (and honestly a lot of the fascinating side characters) are so well fleshed out as to make them feel a part of oneself… as if you truly were a part of the story. I’m very sad to reach the end of the currently readable saga.
