An Echo in the Bone (Outlander, Bk 7)

*****SPOILERS POSSIBLE********

I'm sorry as a HUGE fan of Diana and her Outlander series I was extremely disapointed and quite frankly angry once I started to read this book. I read these books because I love the Characters, Jamie, Claire, Brianna and Roger NOT William or John Grey.. if I wanted to read about either of them I would buy and read THOSE books. I have NO interest in those characters what so ever and to push them on us, your very LOYAL readers of this series, is a very BAD call..I am sadly only half way through and I don't suspect I will get much furhter as honeslty I dont' want to.. I don't give a crap about William or John Grey so why are they here messing with the series I have grown to cherish and re-read multiple times??? . While I was sitting there reading and getting more and more annoyed and asking myself where's Jamie and Claire, Where's Brianna and Roger, I found myself skipping whole chapters about characters I didn't care about. I finally went to see what others were saying about the book. When I saw they were on the same page as I was and that there was even worse to come, with an ending that does nothing to tie up any loose ends it is said' I am even more convinced the book is going to sit on the shelf and never get finished. It feels like Diana forgot who these books were even about.. You remember don't you? Jamie Fraser, Claire, their daughter Brianna and her husband Roger??? remember them... perhaps she was advised by her publisher to try to incorporate her "other" stories into this to try to push them on the Jamie and Claire fans. For me it has back fired and basically pissed me off. It was a long long wait for this book and this is what I got.. disapointment and a "Lord John and his guest stars the Frasiers" book
