Commentary Conducive To Books An Echo in the Bone (Outlander #7)
The Seventh Outlander novel from #1 National Bestselling author Diana Gabaldon.Jamie Fraser, erstwhile Jacobite and reluctant rebel, knows three things about the American rebellion: the Americans will win, unlikely as that seems in 1778; being on the winning side is no guarantee of survival; and he’d rather die than face his illegitimate son — a young lieutenant in the British Army — across the barrel of a gun. Fraser’s time-travelling wife, Claire, also knows a couple of things: that the Americans will win, but that the ultimate price of victory is a mystery. What she does believe is that the price won’t include Jamie’s life or happiness — not if she has anything to say.
Claire’s grown daughter Brianna, and her husband, Roger, watch the unfolding of Brianna’s parents’ history — a past that may be sneaking up behind their own family.

I am an Outlander series fan. Yes I am. I love Jamie (to an embarrasing extent), Claire and the whole cast of random modern and 18th C. characters that fill the many, many pages of Gabaldon's books. While not fine literature, I can always count on her great storytelling to completely draw me into her world over and over again (to the detriment of my normal life, and my husband's chagrin).That said, while I did enjoy this book there were a number of things about the writing that bothered me:1.This book was definitely the hardest out of the series for me to get through. Not because it was jarring to read but because I found a big chunk of the book the be incredibly boring and long winded. It just didnt draw me in and capture my attention like the others in the series did. Dont get me wrong, there are some great parts that I really loved and I thoroughly enjoyed where some parts of the story went. But it just felt like this installment lacked some of the magic and oomph of the previous
DGs still a PHENOMENAL writer, her talent has never been in question, but I do question her sanity after reading the last word of this hefty 814-page HC. These are just my random thoughts & somewhat-friendly reminders to myself as future reference, in case I need to refresh my poor memory. This is 1 helluva busy book, jammed w/ innumerable constantly-shifting plots & POVs but the resulting end wasnt a thrilling ride as the previous ones. I really hope to hell this was simply a failed
Sept. 30, 2009, after my first read: I'm still chewing on this. Not quite sure what to rate it yet. I loved the majority of the book, but I just finished today, and the ending has left me disgruntled. It feels like I have a bad copy that someone snatched the last 100 pages out of.April 4, 2014, after my reread in preparation for the next book's release: I just finished a reread of this (on audiobook, read by the fabulous Davina Porter), and I don't know if it's because my I already knew the
And this is it for me and the Outlander series.There is a section in the Outlandish Companion where Diana talks about authors who do so much research and then make their readers "pay" for it. Meaning, if the author read about it, she's going to put it in the book, regardless of how much it contributes to the actual story. I think that Diana is now doing the same. I've been a loyal fan of hers since I first read Outlander, but I'm done. I can't deal with an endless series where just because she's
5 STARS!!!!! EPIC SERIES!!!! And still more to come!!!!What a ride this has been!!!! It has taken me half a year, yes 6 months to get through this fabulous series. I embarked on my quest of audio books back in July of 2013, and I have finally reached the end of my journey... so far, as there will be another book out in the series later this year. AND.... a TV mini-series on STARZ© airing in March 2014!!!!!! Words can not express my love for this series, and my devotion to the author. They will
I never in a million years thought Id give DG less than five stars. Shes one of three authors on my release-date auto-buy, and Ive been eagerly awaiting this book for years. But having spent the last couple of weeks reading it, I really dont even know what to say (I know I should take that back I ALWAYS have something to say and Im about to say it).Problem one: It took me several weeks to read. Im a compulsive reader. I cant sleep with a story unfinished, and yet Echo never grabbed me. I went
