Sinossi
OUTLANDER #14 Claire Fraser, l’affascinante viaggiatrice nel tempo protagonista della serie Outlander, si è ormai abituata alla vita dell’America nel Settecento e assiste con animo consapevole ai rivolgimenti che porteranno alla nascita degli Stati Uniti, anche se, nel 1778, agli occhi dei contemporanei, la situazione è ancora incerta. Washington ha costretto gli inglesi ad abbandonare Philadelphia e incomincia a profilarsi l’indipendenza delle colonie, ma l’elemento veramente rivoluzionario nella vita di Claire è il ritorno dell’adorato marito Jamie, dato per morto, il quale scopre che Claire si è nel frattempo risposata con Lord John Grey, il suo più caro amico. Intanto, nella Scozia del Ventesimo secolo, la figlia di Claire, Brianna, è disperata perché il primogenito Jem è stato rapito da un individuo determinato a scoprire il mistero del cerchio di pietre che fa viaggiare nel tempo. Il marito Roger si avventura nel passato alla disperata ricerca di Jem, senza sospettare che il bambino in realtà è più vicino nel tempo di quanto non creda…

Hmmmm. All over the map. Plot twists long and meandering, even unnecessary. Character development - and there are so many characters - slow. Unbalanced scenes with some being entirely too drawn out and tedious, and others too quick, too short, too unprecedented and not firmly enough tethered to the
***5 stars*** After FOUR years EIGHT months and NINETEEN days....The Adventure continues Please Note: This review contains NO SPOILERS for Written in My Own Heart's Blood but may for previous books in the series The Standing Stones at Craigh na Dun It's 1778, Philadelphia and Jamie Fraser has just r Leggi tutto
Spoiler-free review: I first want to say that the Outlander series has been in my heart and soul since around 1999. When I began the series, my children were toddlers (I have crayon marks in my original Outlander paperback). One is now in college and my younger is going to be a senior in high school. Leggi tutto
I finally finished them all until she puts out the next book, which I need right now. There were a couple deaths that meant something to me. One it was a normal mourning but the other was so horrible it broke my heart. Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone. It took so long for Claire and Jamie t Leggi tutto

Please do not expect any work from me until I have finished this book. I will be taking a break from all forms of human interaction from the time I get it until it is finished. We have got to get little Timmy out of the well...uh, I mean little Jemmy out of the tunnel. Update: *sigh* I finished it! T Leggi tutto
Spoilers The worst Outlander book so far, which is saying a lot since the last few have been less than impressive. If all the Claire/Jamie/William/Ian/Rachel/John parts had been cut out and just Roger/Bree/Jem's chapters remained then I would have rated this four stars. I never would have thought I'd Leggi tutto
I've finished the book. I must say, after almost 15 years of reading this books, Diana was just about to lose me. I don't know exactly what it was that I started finding so annoying in book 4 to 7. Probably the amount of characters and their incredibly boring adventures (Come on, Willie's in the Gre Leggi tutto
An extra star out of loyalty....but this was a sprawling historical novel that sprawled too far -- a kitchen-sink book, and not in a good way. A huge number of plotlines that didn't seem to serve any narrative purpose, too much time spent with annoying characters, WAY too much surgical detail, and t Leggi tutto
Here we go with the review, as I prepare to commit Outlander heresy - as much as I loved this series (well, Echo not so much), and as happy as I was to read more about Jamie and Claire, et al - the negatives far outweigh the pluses. Written in my Own Heart's Blood picks up right where Echo in the Bo Leggi tutto
