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?

I'm at about 170ish. I'm listening to it on Audible, which is read by Davina Porter, which really helps make it come alive. It does not have the same kind of driving feel Outlander had for the first 3/4 of it's story. I must say, I'm enjoying it more than the last 1/4 of Outlander, which seemed to go on forever. At one point, I was doing the math, wondering if Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson might show up at any of the Paris parties and realized, they came to Paris about 30 years later. The hospital and Claire's motivation for being there and how her and Jamie work through issues has been fun to read. So far, I think it's putting more flesh on the bones of the characters we were introduced to, in Outlander. I'm going to keep going.(less)
