I felt there were I few parts of the story that really weren't needed, but these were only a matter of a page or so at a time, and may reflect my urge to get on with some important aspect of the story that was happening at the time! I continue to love Jamie's dialogue, particular the wiry humour between Jamie and Ian. (  ) nellista | Oct 28, 2009 |  I really enjoyed the latest installment of the Outlander series. This book continues the story of Jamie and Claire Fraser in the back country of North Carolina. It is a little slow paced at times but wraps everything up nicely at the end and does not disappoint. There are kidnappings, murders, and plenty of excitement counterbalances the slower paced sections of this novel. I'm hoping the next book brings our beloved characters out of North Carolina as I really enjoy their travels much more than the sedentary life they have been leading in the last few books. Definitely worth the read and I heartily recommend. ( ) lollypop917 | Sep 9, 2009 | susansw | Aug 19, 2009 | Gabaldon certainly redeemed herself with Book 6. After snoring through the first 800 pages of Fiery Cross, Snow and Ashes is as good as any of the first of the Outlander books. She never ceases to amaze and surprise me. Love this series and will be very, very sorry to finish Book 7 (though I hear there is a Graphic Novel in the works, which I can look forward to...hope it's true). ( ) ddelmoni | Jul 17, 2009 | This is an amazing book. I have read all 6 of the Outlander series and have enjoyed them all. Now I am just waiting for the next book to come out on September 22, 2009. You will connect with the charecters and feel like you are there with them. (  ) Coondogs5 | Jun 16, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385324162, Hardcover)Eagerly anticipated by her legions of fans, this sixth novel in Diana Gabaldon’s bestselling Outlander saga is a masterpiece of historical fiction from one of the most popular authors of our time.Since the initial publication of Outlander fifteen years ago, Diana Gabaldon’s New York Times bestselling saga has won the hearts of readers the world over — and sold more than twelve million books. Now, A Breath of Snow and Ashes continues the extraordinary story of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century wife, Claire. The year is 1772, and on the eve of the American Revolution, the long fuse of rebellion has already been lit. Men lie dead in the streets of Boston, and in the backwoods of North Carolina, isolated cabins burn in the forest. With chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the backcountry and safeguard the colony for King and Crown. But from his wife Jamie knows that three years hence the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the result will be independence — with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile. And there is also the matter of a tiny clipping from The Wilmington Gazette, dated 1776, which reports Jamie’s death, along with his kin. For once, he hopes, his time-traveling family may be wrong about the future. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:03 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
