I really missed all these characters!

"So you've not only somehow married Fraser's wife, but you've accidentally been raising his illegitimate son for the last fifteen years?"

"And I don't recommend murder as a way of settling difficult situations. It tends to lead to complications -- but not nearly as many as marriage" ( )

The worst part is, I've caught up and read all of the books. Now I have to wait ~4 years for the next book :( ( )

I think Gabaldon has finally nixed the slump.

Hard to believe that after four years of listening to Davina Porter narrate the Outlander series on my way to school - the journey has finally come to a (temporary) end today. I was a little leery of where this novel's ending was headed, but I do think it ended on just the right note. Really looking forward to Go Tell the Bees That I am Gone! This one had a lot more action than previous novels, which I really appreciated. Though some of the medical scenes were a little over the top for me, I always really appreciate Gabaldon's beautiful representation of the simplicity and complexity of domestic life.

So this is the last book (so far as we know) of the Outlander series "In My Own Heart's Blood" which ended the family saga while the reader could still imagine more drama in their futures. I like when an author leaves an opening for our imaginations instead of leaving with an absolute ending. We know by the previous books that the Fraser family have a lot more to do and given the strong characters we've read so far, the reader can infer that more of life's drama awaits them with open arms. The Outlander series is a great storyline, each novel gave details of personal tragedy and happiness, and this last book was filled with the same: lots of plotting, strong dialogue, deep character development, and visual scenes that the reader can embrace. of course the scenes are packed with history as well, however I didn't feel compelled to check them to know for sure accuracy. It doesn't matter because it's a fantasy story that will pick up the reader and carry one away to another world, just as we like our stories to do. I recommend this book - if anyone gets stuck on a previous I implore you to keep reading. The ending is worth the hours spent. Who knows, someday the author might pick up the storyline again, it is a possibility, or we can just continue to let our imaginations go on with our own made-up scenes . . . ( )
