reviewed on


It may take a bit of time for this book to take off for some people... not me, but some feel that way.... but once you get into the heart of the book - you will be obsessed with Jamie & Claire.... Unforgettable characters and series, I own the whole thing and love it. Diana has managed to write characters you want to know, you love and you absolutely wish existed! I thought great fiction was dead before Diana - I only read non-fiction for a long, long time - and now she opened this world back up to me - with such intelligent writing and characters that resonate to your core. Because of her I gave the genre a chance - and now own THREE unforgettable series, The Outlander, Gabaldon, Into the Wilderness Donati, and The Bronze Horseman Paullina Simons ALL are a cut above the rest in terms of intelligence, unforgettable characters and lifetime loves - I so hate it when the characters fight, clash, escape death, finally get together in the last 25 pages of the book, get married, the end....I want to know how they lived! I want the everyday as well as the drama - and the seasons of their lives and these three authors provide all that and more! If you give these books a chance you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
