Pues ya que importa, no es noticia nueva que estos libros son súper largos, pero aquí continuamos. Y la nota tan alta tal vez sea por mi crisis lectora de meses y que con éste libro no pude parar de leer a pesar la cantidad de páginas. ¿Debería tener menos estrellas? Si, tal vez. Y en esa cantidad de páginas de que pasan cosas, pasan muchas cosas, pero si me preguntan ya acabado el libro: ¿Qué tanto ha avanzado la historia? La verdad, no sé.
Será que ya siento a los personajes como parientes (excepto William que si me desespera un poco desde el libro pasado), pero es alguien que hace mucho que no ves y viene a ponerte al corriente de su historia; un pariente que no para de hablar y te tiene sentado horas y horas.
Si le encuentro problemas al ritmo, teniendo capítulos con largas descripciones, siguiendo a los personajes ir y venir para luego tener otros capítulos donde se narran los hechos después y de pasada. A estas alturas creo que no hay mucho que decir, ya estoy más para allá que para acá.
Liked this one better than the previous one and anyway I'm obsessed with Jamie and Claire at this point and would read almost anything about them!
Diana Gabaldon and her story of Claire and Jaime continues to engross me. When I picked up this book I knew that I wouldn't be able to put it down. With the new collaboration between Audible and Amazon I didn't have to either. I really liked the fact that I could read the book and then listen to the book as needed seamlessly. The story between Jaime and Claire continues and we get updates on those around them from Brianna, Roger and their family to William, Lord John Grey and Ian. There we're laugh out loud parts, horrible illnesses and surgeries, heartbreaking deaths and the solid love story of Jaime & Claire. There are some tantalizing bits to hang on to for the future as well. I'm not sure if I'll be watching the TV series but I'm glad that many more people will be introduced to this World and the characters that the author has so richly created!
I've been reading the Outlander series since 1992, so I couldn't NOT read this book. However, I've long since given up hope that new Outlander installments will live up to the strength of the first four books in the series. I love Jamie and Claire but would have been happy with a 100-200 page book that focused exclusively on them without Brianna, Roger, John, and especially William. The only secondary character who comes close to Jamie and Claire is Ian, whose tortuous history is finally rewarded with a wife who is worthy of him and, at least for now, a measure of peace and quiet.
