Y no le pongo dos estrellas porque quiero mucho a los personajes, nada más.
Cuatro meses para terminar el que para mi es el libro más aburrido de la serie, tremendamente descriptivo y cansado.
No logré conectar con la historia :(

Okay don't judge me: aber ich glaube, dass es nie ein Outlander-Buch geben wird, welches von mir weniger als 5 Sterne bekommt 🤷🏼‍♀️ sorry not sorry, aber ich bin einfach so ein Hardcore-Fan dieser Reihe schon seit Band 1 😍🤷🏼‍♀️Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass dieser Band ein wenig ruhiger war als die 4 Vorgänger. Es ging etwas weniger um Krieg/Schlachten, sondern viel um Familie und zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen. Dennoch kam die Action hier keineswegs zu kurz. Meiner Meinung nach ist Gabaldon, ...

And the story continues. ♥Listening to these audio books back to back, they are starting to run together. I think I mentioned this before, but it's like one big, ongoing Outlander movie or something. I don't know if what I listened to was something from the other book or vise versa. Here's what I know. Everyone is living together at Fraser's Ridge. Jamie gets called into the army by the Governor and Roger is with him. There is some fighting but I think there is more to come. And sweet baby Jesus...

I DID IT. I FINISHED THIS HULKING BEAST OF A BOOK.The Fiery Cross is the fifth book in Arizona (woot) author Diana Gabaldon’s time-traveling historical fiction saga. I have enjoyed all the books up until this one, some with reservations, but still enjoyed. They all felt like they had strong backbones, and even though they were long, most of the stuff stuffed up in there had a point. Not so with this fucker. Since the book is soooooo looooooong, I’m going to respond by being more concise than I w...

And so book 5 comes to an end. I started reading this series on June 16th and they have consumed me for all of my summer holidays. I swore I would take a break after each one but could not. They are long, they are detailed, all the names get a little confusing sometimes. I suppose I, myself, could be accused of jumping on the bandwagon, what with the TV series airing last night in the USA. Maybe so, but as I have had the books on my kindle and some of them in paperback for some time now (certain...

I don't think any author is in love with her characters and her own writing as much as Diana Gabaldon. To the point that she is convinced that absolutely everything she writes about them has to be in her books. Who cares about the plot and moving things along and putting in her novels only events that would advance the plot? Not Diana! I've loved the Outlander books for a while, in spite of their fragmented nature and sometimes convoluted story lines, but this time even the most dedicated fan wo...

Like a Glucose Tolerance Test, Only Recommended for Absolute Die-Hard FansA glucose tolerance test is a test given to a pregnant woman in order to determine whether or not she has gestational diabetes. The test is administered by forcing the poor pregnant woman to drink a, beyond human portion, of a glucose drink, something that tastes like a sugared soft-drink. Then glucose levels of the blood are measured at different intervals after the glucose has been metabolized by the body. It's not the s...

Second read- 2021Reading along with the show but I fell behind— forgot how massive (but wonderfully written) these books are. Definitely have to finish this one and read the next to catch up... winter is a great time for big books!! First read- 2008Although I really do love this series-- but book 5 seemed to go on and on and on without really moving the story forward that much... certainly not 1,000 plus pages worth. That said, Gabaldon is a master at weaving characters, historical fiction detai...

When I finished this, my knee-jerk reaction was to give it a 4 star. However, after some consideration, I have to be honest with myself and say it was really just a 3 star read. The Fiery Cross is the 5th book in the Outlander series, a fantasy/romance/historical/time travel/everything-but-the-kitchen-sink series which began when Claire Randall, on a second honeymoon in Scotland, is thrown back in time from 1946 to Scotland during the Jacobite uprising that ended tragically at the battle of Cull...

So far, the weakest book in the series. This book dragged on and on and on... It took me about four times as long to finish this one as it did the other four. There was just a lot of unnecessary drama. The interesting parts were few and far between, but were just enough to keep me reading. And I will admit, by the end I was finally engaged enough to want to read the next one, so it didn't turn me off completely. There were just a lot of things that didn't need to be in the book. This is the firs...
