- Love it because it's part of a greater whole
I absolutely adore this series. They're not like anything else I've read and they have every element of good fiction a reader could ask for. The characters are quirky and flawed enough to be realistic, but also have enough redeeming qualities to make them lovable. Every time I open up one of Gabaldon's books, I'm immediately whirled into a completely different time and place. Excellent, excellent series.

As has been duly noted over and over, this is a loooong book. I don't see that as a necessarily bad thing, however. I can't count the number of times a book ended too soon and before I was ready. Fiery Cross delves deep into the plot and Gabaldon is gutsy enough to take the time to fully develop all the facets of the plot. This is what makes it feel so real.

- So easy to put down and not pick back up!
Ok, I'm over 150 pages in and I don't think it's even the afternoon of the first day - 150 pages of mundane, tediousness. I'm putting it down and not picking it back up!
I remember when there was a huge todo about her books - I've got to tell you, I've been wondering why.
After reading the reviews here, I wonder if I've just started with a lemon, so maybe I will give the first one a go - first I have to recover from the boredom of this one though.
And as for romance? In the 155 pages so far, I haven't noticed much of that.

- 'Till death
(english is not my first language, sorry for any mistakes)
I hesitated a lot when I was about to buy this book. Although I own the previous Outlander books, some of the reviews were really hard on this book. Some people said was that it is boring. It is not!! Sure it's not so fast paced as the previous books, but this is just the "peace before the storm". You can see conflict in the horizon, and at the same time, the characters are trying to build a life together.
Other reviews said that this book had too many historical details about daily life. And let me tell you, even if it is true, it is also true that this is the first book I've read where those details are INTERESTING!
What I loved about the book is the way it tells the story of love and marriage. Jamie and Claire, middle ... Read More

- Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon (Outlander Series)
I have thoroughly enjoyed the entire series, having listened to them all in audio form and read them in book form. Each book has enormous details of smells, sights and sounds. Further, each has a perfect blend of adventure, history, humor, conflict and eroticism. My favorite part of this book was the gathering - a point when all the highland clans came together to camp, commune, celebrate births and marriages, and formally acknowledge each other. The final night was steeped in tradition and very emotionally charged. I highly recommend the series.
