Search - The Fiery Cross (Outlander, Bk 5)

Picked this one because I liked the cover. When I started reading it, by page 4, it dawned on me that I know these people. And that I liked them. Read Outlander, Voyager and Drums of Autumn years ago. (Didn't read the Amber one) Fiery Cross is just as good, thank goodness, because it is 1441 pages long. Well worth the time spent reading it.

Of all the books so far in the series, this is the hardest to get through. The first third of the book consists of the Frasiers at a clan gathering of all the Scots in the new world. This in itself is kind of cool however, I don't think we needed to hear the intimate details of a bunch of ex-highlanders who had absolutely nothing to do with the Frasiers. It took forever and was boring as hell. The rest of the book was enjoyable in a kind of everyday life kinda way. Just learning how Jamie, Claire, Brianna and Roger survived life in the 1700s some of which was very fascinating. What they did to Roger in this book was heartwrenching. I cried many times while reading about his trevails.

I really enjoyed the ending of this one...bringing everyone together again and set the stage for A Breath of Snow and Ashes. I can't wait to start it and see what is in store for our friends.

A great book. It's the continuing saga of time traveller Claire who went back in time to be with Jaime. They are now settled at Frasier's Ridge in North Carolina with their daughter Bree and bree's husband Roger and son Jemmy.A Colorful,insightful and suspenseful book.

I love her books but they are so long, I have to admit that this one was not my favorite in the series. I waiting on book 6 now and I'm hoping it will meet my expectations and go out with a bang!

Like all of her series, continues to develop the story line and characters in this time travel adventure. Well done!

I just love all these books and find them so hard to put down, its just an epic saga that is so much fun to read. I love Jamie Fraser!!!
