I love love love the reader!!! I would purchase the phone book if she read it! The voices are amazing, and the story just takes you away. Started very strong, lost interest a little over half way through but continued on. Then it got really good again. Left me wanting the next book in the series.

The second installment of Claire and Jamie Fraser did not disappoint. Audio book. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Turn the Ship Around! Scott Brick. Beautiful Creatures. This Present Darkness. Next Post. Discussion about this post. So here's my thoughts. I hated the beginning. Maybe hate's too strong a word but it's in the morning, I haven't packed yet for the holiday and I haven't had my coffee yet, so hate feels good.

I just wasn't into following composed, controlled 's Claire around with her daughter in Scotland. I wanted to feel the passion again with Jamie and I kept wanting it to just switch over already. Or for her to jump through the stones again. I understand that first chunk was vital but I wasn't impressed.

The only light in this portion for me was when Claire discovers the headstones at the St. Kilda kirkyard. It was the first time I felt that passion and absolute heartbreak. At long last, 's France became the setting and I settled in comfortably.

Like finding an old sweatshirt that still smells of the travels it's taken. I knew absolutely nothing. I was totally and completely blind to the background story. If there is one thing I know, Gabaldon is one of the best at mixing just the right about of fact and fiction. I closed metaphorically, of course the book with a solid knowledge and appreciation of what really went down.

I can't imagine that to be easy. How to teach while telling a story through somebody that never existed? I have no idea how she magicked that one, but I'm grateful for the mastery. So much happened in this book. Soooo much. Two time periods. Three settings. I could go on and on. I mean, I know the book was big but even then, it's impressive to have managed to fit so much into that space.

And it was done well - nothing was rushed. Nothing felt forced. The ebb and flow of the book simply was and I traveled along like a ghost in the shadows. I have so much more to say and yet nothing more at all. I don't want to spoil anything for those who intend on reading this one. I didn't rate this one any higher, though I would have liked to.

The end broke my heart and when you get an intense feeling like that from paper and ink, you can't help but want to rave and rave about it. However, Dragonfly in Amber was good but it's predecessor changed me.

Outlander was a six star book for me, a rarity in and of itself. Dragonfly in Amber was amazing so a full five stars from me. In , Claire has returned to Scotland after almost twenty years with her daughter, Brianna, with plans to reveal the secret of the standing circle of stones and Claire's time in 18th century Scotland.

The second novel in the series, Gabaldon's novel is richly detailed and on an epic scale. It is well-researched historical fiction, filled with a wide scope of characters both fictitious and real. However, the large scale and very detailed plot can be wearing reading given the novel's length.

While Jamie and Claire's relationship was still interesting, I didn't feel it was as compelling as in the first novel, although the desire to find out what happened to them was enough to push me through the pages of 10 point font. There are passages and details I feel could have been edited out to make the novel a shorter and smoother read but the novel will satisfy fans of Outlander. While the conclusion of the novel is rather open-ended, the knowledge that there are several more books in the series prevents it from feeling like a surprise or anything approximating a cliffhanger.

Although the details and descriptions are beautiful and detailed, the characters are less sympathetic this time around. I will be picking up the next book in the series at some point but will definitely take a serious break between. Dragonfly in Amber is the second book of the Outlander series.

I like this book so well partly because of the mystery of Master Raymond. Also, the continuation of Jamie and Claire's story in is thrilling, moving, and heartfelt. I continue to be awed by Gabaldon's story telling. My only critique is that the loyalty of several characters got to be a bit confusing particularly when so many characters were involved. Figuring out who was a Jacobite and who was not, gives me an excuse to read this book again.

Shucks, twist my arm. Still not understanding the popularity of this series. This is a readable romance, obviously sometimes a bit too obviously well-researched and grounded in the history that forms its backdrop.
