Medieval

It's always a strange feeling when you finish one of these. I know it's not the end, but having just spent 6 weeks reading this, I feel a bit listless.

Not at all my favorite in the series. I find William an absolute bore and found myself shutting down everytime it was his POV.

SO MUCH happened in the last 60-70 pages that I felt dizzy. I adore Ian and Rachel so much. ( )

More drama as Jamie and Claire try to get back to Scotland to retrieve his printing press. Detoured, they land in the middle of battles for the Revolution in New York, where Jamie is once again leading the soldiers but this time he has worries for the survival of the other side as well. More characters are introduced along the way as well as more insight into William, Jamie's illegitimate son. We say good-bye to some of the favorite characters that we've grown fond of as well. Drastic measures are taken, as always in these books, and the ending left me wanting to reach out for the next book in line. Great drama, though the writing is a bit verbose at times. ( )

I normally really enjoy this series, and the characters still keep me involved and engaged in their lives. I felt like there were a lot of loose ends with this one though that were either sloppily tied up or left hanging. Maybe in the next one, it will clear up a bit. But for now, I'm not very excited about this one. ( )

El ex jacobita Jamie Fraser está plenamente inmerso en la Revolución americana, que defiende a capa y espada, hasta que se le presenta un conflicto interior que puede dar al traste con sus ideas, con su felicidad y hasta con su vida: en el bando del ejército inglés que debe sofocarla rebelión se encuentra su hijo ilegítimo, un joven teniente del ejército británico, y el encuentro es inminente. Para resolver la cuestión está la esposa de Jamie, Claire, una mujer que ha viajado en el tiempo desde los años cuarenta del siglo XX –donde cuenta con otra familia– hasta el siglo XVIII y que, claro está, juega con ventaja. Gracias a las peculiares características de Claire, mucha sangre no llegará al río; al menos sangre familiar.
