A Goodreads user asked this question about Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander, #2):
I am on page 160 and can someone please tell me whether or not this book is worth reading? I really enjoyed Outlander and I had very high hopes for this book, however, chapter after tedious chapter of Claire and Jamie and their boring day to day existence in Paris is not very encouraging?
Shauna Thanks for al the thoughts on this, everyone! I'm about 25% the way through, and it certainly isn't riveting, like Outlander was. But I'm so committed…moreThanks for al the thoughts on this, everyone! I'm about 25% the way through, and it certainly isn't riveting, like Outlander was. But I'm so committed to the books, that I don't want to miss anything important. So thanks for the advice to keep reading! And, at least from my perspective, I don't find this book boring (I'm in the midst of Parisian life). Parts are very funny, and I'm actually relieved that the characters have some normalcy for a little bit. :) The one thing that is really disappointing is that, they way the book starts, makes it obvious that Jamie never got to see his child when she was young.(less)
