yaakovakiva's review against another edition

4.0

I loved this book of the series, and I am SO glad to have some closure at the end, with the ability to perhaps take a break before the next 1,000 page volume of the series. Loved Brianna's storyline and Ian's coming of age especially, and I felt at several points that I could feel a bit of the almost constant fear of death in colonial America. Being alone and without any significant technology was so much more terrifying in this setting. Overall, a great part of the series and I know I will eventually venture back to finish the entire slew of gigantic books. I'm so grateful to have actually have seen the author speak at NY Comic Con while in the process of reading this. I was a total fan girl!

The book was somewhat more predictable than the others, but it was still very good. I am thinking that this book may be another connector between more significant tales, but I can't be sure without reading the next one!

Read for the second time since it's been over ten years since my initial read. I love in depth historical fiction and appreciate the detail Gabaldon goes into. I could do without Brianna/Roger though!
