Summary: Good, but not my favorite book.
Comment: I was at the bookstore the day this his the shelves, eagerly awaiting the next installment. I read it slowly, savoring every bit. But in all honesty, I walked away somewhat disappointed.
If I'm going to read 1,000 pages, I want something - lots of things - to happen. Outlander was fabulous: the action, adventure and romance rarely stopped. Fiery Cross is very much a slice-of-life book: here's what Jamie and Claire did on Monday, here's what they did on Tuesday, etc. Not as much action and story advancement as I thought, and as we are used to from Diana. Too many story lines that should have been wrapped up are still left hanging, and have been joined by a few other dangling questions. I was frustrated at the end at the lack of Things Happening. I never got a feel for Roger and Brianna's real characters - they seemed to be plot devices at times. Which is rare for Diana's writing. Perhaps Diana has spoiled us with the artistry of the first four books. Perhaps this was rushed to press. Who knows. I'm glad I read it, but I won't reread it any time soon. (I've read the other four several times.) The details were great, as usual, but some of it could have been cut. I learned alot about that time in American history, but I wish the story had gone further. Nevertheless, it was great to be with Jamie and Claire again!

Summary: Long Live Jamie and Claire! Long Live Diana Gabaldon!!!
Comment: (...). Nothing could be further from the truth. And there is a great deal of action in here. This book is the coming of war, and the War of the Regulators. Once again, Jamie and Claire and family are caught in the crossfire of both sides of the battle. This book is about facing the future, accepting the path, and about relationships between the characters. This book was incredible and I have fallen deeper and deeper in love with all of these characters. Once again, Diana Gabaldon has written a masterpiece of fiction. The characters are real, with real emotions and real adventures. A must have for any library!

Summary: Don't Judge the Series by this Book
Comment: I loved the rest of this series, but this one is so boring I tried twice to read it, but both times got so bored with it I couldn't finish. But don't judge the whole series on this book. Read all the others. You'll enjoy those!
