My thoughts on
Outlander (Outlander #1)
Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander #2)
Voyager (Outlander #3)
Drums of Autumn (Outlander #4)
A Breath of Snow and Ashes (Outlander #6)
An Echo in the Bone (Outlander, #7)
Written in My Own Heart's Blood (Outlander #8)
Don't think even for a second that becoming settlers in the backcountry of North Carolina not too far from Jamie's wealthy aunt's plantation will mean life becomes boring for Jamie, Claire, Bree, and Roger.
The early days of what leads to the American Revolution are the backdrop for this edition as the Fraser clan settles in North Carolina. As in prior books Jamie and Claire are the sun which the Outlander universe revolves. They are 20+ years older than when we first met them and they are still just as hot for each other. But their love is beyond just sensual, there is a connection between them that sizzles off the page. They are life's breath to each other. Learning from watching them is the young marriage of Roger and Bree.
The Fiery Cross also has its fair share of intrigue. Who killed Jocasta's slave and why? Who knocked out Duncan and tied up Jocasta and why? Are there other's like Claire, Bree, and Roger, able to step through the stones and into the past or future? What role if any will they play in the upcoming revolution? After what they went though in Scotland can they manage to stay out of it the coming war?
All in all a good addition to the series, but jeez these books are getting long!! This one was the longest yet coming in at 1443 pages for the mass market paperback edition.
