A place to get lost in...

Ah, everything you dreamed about having in a relationship with a man, everything you want to be as a woman, and enough adventure to carry the story well along to the end of the book. I am on the third in the series and so far, this is her absolute best. Even though she struggles more to create the story I have fallen in love with her characters and won't stop reading until I have read them all. I will reread them, too. I was once told that if you find you dream about a book, then it is a very powerful book. It's a verra good read and I canna recommend it enough.

Gabaldon

I bought this for my wife. This is her third time through the series. She decided that it is easier to buy them than to continue to check them out at the local library, as she intends to read the series several more times. It must be really good.

Half way through

I'm only half way through this book and have to say that I find it enjoyable, unlike many other reviewers here. Of course, since I am not finished with it yet my opinion could be changed. Diana Gabaldon is very descriptive in all her books and I find the interact between Claire and Jamie to be very realistic. Roger is still feeling out of his element I think and Briana is a little self-pitying but I suppose that is to be expected due to what happened to her in the previous book.

Downer

FIREY CROSS has a riveting title, but as a fascinating read it ends right there. Any author has a dud ever once-in-a-while, but this story reads more like it was written to fulfil a contract or to appease demanding fans who are impatient for the story to move on.
It begins at the ending of DRUMS OF AUTUMN and takes us through rather modernistic philosophy or attitudes of middle age and early marrage. Ms. Gabaldon had best either jump start Brianna and Roger or get rid of them, they interfere with our love affair with Jamie and Clarie. Clarie was smart when she left her spoiled daughter in Scotland.
Not the best, but I'll take Diana's worst to other historical fiction I've read.
