Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful follow-up to Outlander.... For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland’s majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones ... about a love that transcends the boundaries of time ... and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his.... Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire’s spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart ... in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising ... and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.... Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Good Second Chapter of the Outlander Series"Dragonfly in Amber" is good second chapter of the "Outlander" series. If you enjoyed "Outlander" you are sure to enjoy the continuation of Jamie and Claire's story. All of the characters from the first novel are back, with more romance and political intrigue than ever. At nearly a thousand pages, this book is longer than "Outlander", but generally the pacing is good and the action comes fast, so you keep reading. I did feel like the third quarter of the book dragged a little bit, ... Read More Rating:  - Keeps getting betterI'm utterly enthralled with the story of Jamie and Claire! Their story just keeps getting better and better with each book. Although longer than Outlander, I didn't find Dragonfly boring, even the historical parts. I've never been a real big fan of the 18th Century but I find myself totally immersed in the time period thanks to Gabaldon's series. As I said in my last review, I love the characters she's created and have laughed, cried, sighed, and fumed throughout her books. I especially ... Read More Rating: - This series is one of the best of all timeI keep having to replace various books in this series as people borrow and I never get them back. I reread this series about every 3 years. I always learn something new and it's always interesting. Excellent author. Rating: - My favorite in the seriesI could write a million pages about how good the books in this series are. SERIOUSLY! Diana Gabaldon, the most masterful story teller of our generation, brings the sequel to "Outlander" to even higher standards than the first, and probably my favorite of the series (or maybe it is tied evenly with "Voyager"; I'll have to figure that out the next time I read the series through). The adventures and sorrows that take place in this book are so spectacular that you can't even breath during it, afraid that ... Read More Rating: - ExcellentExcellent second book in the series of the Outlander. I am almost finished and ready to start reading Voyager. You should have at least two books of the series with you, so that you don't have to wait for a week or so for the next book. Oh aye, these are excellent books, to be sure!! |
