Historical Fiction Quite good as a development of the story of Claire and Jaimie. Although in places this story doesn't sound very believable, it's fun reading. In my opinion, this second book does a pretty good in job bringing the story to its logical and expected ending and doesn't really need to be continued in further installments. However, I will probably go on reading the following books out of simple curiosity but I doubt that I will get as far as book 8 unless the characters develop further and story deepens rather than just continue to list adventure after adventure. I just finished my reread of "Dragonfly in Amber" by Diana Gabaldon, the second book in the Outlander series. Although I have the paperbacks on my shelves, I read the Kindle edition because it is much easier. I read this first more than twenty years ago, but still remembered quite a bit of the plot. It was interesting that I had the same reaction to the first half of the novel - I was not a fan of the action in France and couldn't wait for Jamie and Claire to return to Scotland. Once there, I enjoyed it immensely, although there were some lengthy parts as well, which is why all in all I amended my rating from five to four and a half stars. Some of the twists and turns seem a bit exaggerated to me But still - there are hardly any literary characters who seem so real to me and whom I hold so dearly as Jamie and Claire. I just love this story with all my heart and feel like diving straight into book 3, which I will not do because somehow I have to return to the real world, and because I cannot face a novel of 1000+ pages right now!

The second part of the series from Diana Gabaldon that explores the power of a love which transcends space and time. A magnificent epic that once again sweeps us back in time to the drama and passion of 18th-century Scotland...For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones ...about a love that transcends the boundaries of time ...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his ....Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire's spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart ...in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising ...and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.
