Another excellent time-travel story from Ms. Gabaldon. Fell in love with Jamie and Claire all over again, getting to know Roger and Brianna, and all of the trials and joy they go through. This series is definitely a keeper and one I will enjoy many times over the years. ( )

Mientras Brianna Fraser Randall está a punto de ver realizados sus deseos en compañía de su amado Roger, la vida de sus padres, Jamie Fraser y Claire Randall, continúa en pleno siglo XVIII. Tras su huida de Escocia y su llegada al Caribe, Jamie y Claire deciden embarcarse rumbo a las colonias americanas en busca de una nueva vida que los aleje de las guerras, la miseria y las rencillas seculares. En su ansia de libertad, se dirigen hacia las montañas de Carolina del Norte, el único refugio seguro para alguien que procede de las Tierras Altas escocesas. Allí, finalmente, y a pesar de los riesgos que suponen los animales salvajes, los indios y el fantasma de la hambruna, los Fraser consiguen establecer un precario sistema de vida con la esperanza de que la inminente Revolución Americana no les alcance. Pero, como el paso de la Historia es inexorable y el peligro se cierne sobre la atribulada pareja, Brianna decide viajar al pasado, no sólo para reencontrarse con la madre que ha perdido y con el padre que no conoció, sino para salvar a ambos de un futuro que sólo ella es capaz de percibir.

I wasn’t overly fond of this one. It was 500 pages of boredom, 300 pages of really good, and 200 pages of WTF? Some characters I ended up liking quite a bit, more than I did previously. Some rubbed me the wrong way and I found I could quite do without them. Trying not to be spoilery here. I’ll just say I can’t wait to see how all this plays out in season 4 of Outlander.

Things I liked:

Brianna going back to see her parents
Brianna’s encounter with Laoghaire
Brianna and Marsali being at first kind of jealous of each other, but then becoming friendly
LJG offering to be fake engaged to Brianna


Things I didn’t like:

Brianna - I was really praying she went back to her time. She intentionally uses Frank to hurt Jamie.
Claire’s attachment to Frank’s ring
What happened to Young Ian
Fergus being “absent” for most of this. We didn’t hear from him much.

Another great book in this series. Just keeps getting better and better. ( )

Not a Bookclub book but on my own great series ( )
