(  ) Ames3473 | Nov 28, 2009 |  A Breath of Snow and Ashes picks up a lot after The Fiery Cross, but there is so much drama that it seems fake. Really, how many times can something bad happen to these people? Regardless, the end of the book packs a punch and wraps us loose ends. (  ) purkskis | Nov 28, 2009 | I love each book she writes in this series more than the last. I'm addicted to Jamie and Claire! ( ) Kat_In_Wonderland | Nov 21, 2009 | Really, if you have got this far in the Jamie and Claire story, you obviously are going to love any story about them! 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 |  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.
