An Echo in the Bone (↑)

I've finished another book. This one is part of a series I read about 2 years ago. It's a new book in the series (only came out last year, hence the huge break between reading the last one and this one). It's called An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon. It's well written and I'm sure well researched, but it's really really long which can make reading it tiresome. And also because it had been so long since I read the previous novels, I had to work even harder while reading it in order to remember what had happened previously along with trying to remember all the characters and such.  But that's certainly not the book's fault, more my fault. Either way, I really enjoyed reading it.

Basically, this book continues the story of the time-traveller Claire and her Scottish husband Jamie (who isn't a time-traveller) as they have their adventures through the American Revolutionary War. It also follows Claire and Jamie's daughter Brianna and her husband and their children's adventures in modern day (they are also time travellers). It also follows the story line of Lord John Grey (who also features in quite a few of the other novels in this series, along with novels in a separate series, starring only him) and his son William. In the end almost all the storylines tie in together.

Now I have to make the decision as to whether I want to re-read the whole series over again (not including this book) or if I want to read other books instead. I think the problem I would have with re-reading this series is mostly that all the novels are 700 + pages, so it will take forever. But it's not like I have much else to do at the moment. Either way we'll see I suppose.

I recommend this novel only to those who want to read the Outlander series (I can list the books later) mostly because otherwise they won't understand the ties between most of the characters. Anyway, until next time, Happy Reading!
