I thought this book was the best in the series so far. There was a lot that came full circle and it was once again so brutally true to history. I also think she's done a good job building the characters and giving them real, honest human emotions. I like how things that happen in the past continue to reappear because that is how life works. The past doesn't just disappear when you start a new book, but continues to weave through the present. I feel enough closure at the end of this book that I c

Brianna secretly heads to the past to find Claire and Jamie and, once he realizes what she has done, Roger Wakefield goes in search of Brianna. Thus begins a series of events that leads to reunions, first meetings, and deep losses. From the late 1960s to early 1970s in Scotland and America to the late 1760s – also in Scotland and America – we witness time periods filled with significance and turmoil. Man walks on the moon, and the first stirrings of revolution quietly begin.

Summer 2016 Bingo - With any season of the year in the title. My favorite of the series so far; I love where the story has taken us, but I'm not dying to see where we go next. Hence, 4 not 5 stars. It might help if the books weren't quite so long. Fitting 1,000+ pages (or ~50 hours of audio) into my life is something I can only do once a year or so!

Look, clearly I'm invested in this series, but I have to say - the level of inconsistency in narrators, and POV was annoying to me. This one also felt like it meandered a bit and took a while for threads to pull together.

I tore through the first few books in this series a couple years ago. I thought this one would be similar, but it felt extremely slow. Maybe I allowed too much time to pass in between the books and simply lost momentum -- I forgot some of the key plot points, couldn't remember some of the characters and didn't really care about the ones I did remember.
That said, the second half of this novel was thoroughly enjoyable. I was once a total Claire and Jamie girl. Now prefer the storyline about Brian ...more

It took me forever to read this one. But, once the stories "joined", it was fast reading.

Another engulfing read in the Outlander series. Nothing can top the first book, but I just love hearing more of Jamie and Claire and Brianna and Roger. Fabulous books on tape.
I went into this one ready not to like it so much after my experience with Voyager but I really did like it. I liked seeing Jamie and Claire living together and establishing roots. The only thing that leaves me a little unsure is Roger's character but I want to read more and find out.

I think one of my favorite in the series. Davina Porter is so brilliant as the narrator! Good Listen.
