So sehr mich zu Beginn dieser Bücher die ungehörige Seitenzahl in die Knie zu zwingen droht, so sehr genieße ich nachher jede Seite, jeden Satz und jedes Wort!Selten finde ich eine Geschichte, in die ich so sehr hineingezogen werde, in der ich gleichermaßen leide wie ich mich auch geborgen fühle.Outlander ist und bleibt einfach eine der besten Buchreihen aller Zeiten für mich und ich bin froh, dass ich noch zwei weitere dicke Schmöker vor mir im Regal stehen habe, denn ich kann nie genug von Cla...

”But even things that heal leave scars”.Debo confesar que le estaba perdiendo la fe a esta saga por culpa del quinto y el sexto libro, pero qué sorpresa tan grande me llevé con An Echo in the Bone. Atrás quedaron las narraciones excesivamente mundanas de la vida en Fraser’s Ridge, ¡menos mal! En este séptimo libro nos encontramos con las vidas de Jamie y Claire tras haber perdido su casa en el incendio y con todos los bandos de la Revolución Americana más activos que nunca. Ahora, además de las ...

Bloody hell, I'm freaking tired!So here's the deal. Most of my friends here on Goodreads know that I have been listening to these cd's from the library. Well, I just happened to check the status of their return because I should have had one more month for them to be renewed. Noooooooooooooooooo, on this book someone placed a hold and it's due soon so luckily I started listening to it a few days ago, but now I'm freaking tired because I have had to listen almost non stop while reading another boo...

”God, your arse looks fine, wi’ the wet linen of your shift clinging to it, it goes all transparent, and I can see the weight of your buttocks, like great smooth round melons ..." I sort of wondered when I started this book if I was going into Outlander overload and that I might tire of it seeing as I have read 6 of the books in the space of 2 months or so.No, this book was wonderful, for the most part. I must admit there were some parts with Lord John and William that my eyes sort of glazed ...

First Sentence: The pirate's head had disappeared.In this 7th book to the Outlander series, Jamie, Claire and Ian are leaving the Ridge headed for Scotland to take Ian back to his family and bring Jamie's printing press back to the Colonies. Roger and Brianna have returned to the present and have settled at Lallybroch, but they've not completely left the past behind. William is anxious to prove himself in battle and Lord John is dealing with his family, both in England and in Pennsylvania.I was ...

2021 This re-reading has done nothing to change my mind about the review I wrote at a previous date.Diana Gabaldon needs to finish this series. In fact, she needed to finish it in this book:If she is so crazy about Lord John, keep writing those books about him. Personally, he bores me, and I skipped over those sections. I'm not that into William either, even if he IS Jamie's son.How many times can Claire and Jamie run into pirates and take over a ship? She's done this before in Voyager. And ther...

So I love Diana Gabaldon. I wish she would write faster than one new book every four years in the Outlander series, but whatcha gonna do. So Of course I've been waiting with bated breath for this one. Writing: still draws you into the characters' lives. They are so human, so loving, so flawed yet continuously striving.Characters: this book has four main plots (yes, four). We get Jamie and Claire, but we also get Ian (who I like to read about), Roger and Brianna (who I found annoying earlier in t...

The five stars are an expression of my Outlander fangirl enthusiasm, since I'm incapable of objectively judging the quality of these books. I'd probably have given five stars to anything that wasn't a huge disappointment. Which this wasn't, of course; I thought it was quite good.The first couple hundred pages are admittedly a little slow. We get a lot of POV from Lord John and 19-yr-old William, and there is some crossover from the LJ spin-off series, which I think may be confusing for people wh...

TOP TEN REASONS WHY THE OUTLANDER SERIES IS BETTER THAN THE TWILIGHT SERIES10. Heroine is not complimented on how delicious her blood smells. Instead, she is told that her ass looks like two ripe melons. Just what every woman wants.9. When the hero has to rescue the heroine, he doesn't merely have to run at lightning speed across the parking lot. He actually has to travel halfway across the world, kill a few dozen villains, and blow up a few buildings.8. But that doesn't matter because just as o...

DG’s still a PHENOMENAL writer, her talent has never been in question, but I do question her sanity after reading the last word of this hefty 814-page HC. These are just my random thoughts & somewhat-friendly reminders to myself as future reference, in case I need to refresh my poor memory. This is 1 helluva busy book, jammed w/ innumerable constantly-shifting plots & POVs but the resulting end wasn’t a thrilling ride as the previous ones. I really hope to hell this was simply a failed e...
