"Disappointing" (followed by, "she's really not much as a writer...") about says it all. We've waited a long time for this installment, and I had the fantasy that DG had ample time to polish whatever she was brooding on, but...no. Apologies to those who are enraptured by her "detailed descriptions": One would think that a writer who had six or seven years in production of a novel would have ironed out the more egregious flaws, as well as twigged to the fact that this particular offering goes now...
I impatiently waited for this to come to print and now we begin the wait again for what I believe will be the final installment. Sigh. The nature of reading for me is to become deeply absorbed into the created world so much so that you laugh with them, cry with them, feel the joy and grief and everything in between. The action shifts up and down the Atlantic seaboard, as characters from past volumes reappear, die, are kidnapped, or are healed by Claire's medical knowledge, while new family membe...
Self indulgence. 900 + pages of self-Indulgence.I picture a conversation:Publisher: please, Diana. Please will you give us the new book? We’ve been waiting 7 yearsDiana Gabaldon: it’s not finished yet. I keep thinking of new chapters I want to add, so that people can know about the smells and sounds that a cadaver makes.Publisher: for the love of God, just give it to us! DG: for the love of God…that reminds me, I need another chapter featuring a long religious service, or maybe two characters ca...
I finished listening through the audiobook a couple of hours ago, and still feel like crying. But this time the tears are not from actually emoting along with any characters, or from frustration from having to leave them and wait for the next book. This time I fell like crying because Diana Gabaldon has somehow managed to kill the series for me.For so many years, I loved this series. Most of the characters were relatable, even some of the antagonists (but Stephen Bonnet was always a bit of a car...
Shock shock shocked by the 11/23/21 release date! Thought for sure it was going to be 2022 after she just finished the final draft a week ago. Let's go, editors!! Woohoo! *preordered*
Well... wow. Just wow.6/5 ... like it could be anything else..
Well that was disappointing 🤨
After re-read of book #8 I am more than ready for more. Bring it on Mrs. Gabaldon! I cannot wait.
I have eagerly read all of Diana Gabaldon's books and watched the series. This book is by far the worst of the lot. It drags on, is repetitive, and just plain dull and boring. It badly needs a good editor and a less self-satisfied author. I feel she is pandering to diehard fans who are in love with the world she has created and are loathe to be critical. These fans don't want the story to end, so she gave them a largely filler book which just prolongs the story without adding anything at all to
