Review: Ebb and flow, twists and turns but always a lasting love! - I doubt that anyone will read my review due to the fact that there are over 1800 reviews already posted. I learned of this series through e-mails from STARZ, one of which included a free look at the first episode. Further, due to the fact that in looking at the reviews on desertcart I was amazed to find over 5000 reviews of the first book. I do not usually like time travel books BUT this is now a series which I would love to have all my acquaintances read just so I have someone with whom to discuss it. I had to read books 2 & 3 straight through before taking time to post this review as I wanted/needed to find out if and how Jamie and Claire were ever reunited after a 20 year separation over and beyond an additional separation of 200 years of time travel. I rate my movies and books by how many tissues I need and I have lost count of tissues used while reading this series of books...am now on number four but agree on the addiction factor stated by others, the swooning over photos of Jamie on STARZ, the love these two, Claire and Jamie, have for each other despite separations and other relationships during their separation with thoughts that the other one was dead. This author is a genius. I have to say, even if others have said it (I did read some but not all the other reviews) that these books are amazing, surprising, and with unique twists and turns connecting threads in various books. For instance: Roger Wakefield turning out to be Geillie Duncan's son born in 1743 - this was a surprise and I have not yet read how he got back to modern day and I am sure this thread is going to turn up in future parts of this series. In Outlander Claire loves & is married to Frank Randall but then when faced with a choice between him and her 18th century husband, chooses the latter. So I was wondering if, in this book, she was going to pick up the relationship with Frank exactly where she left it after falling forward through time, at Jamie's insistence...due to his knowledge of her pregnancy and due to his certainty of his own death in the impending war with the British at Culloden. And just prior to this event again there is a detail that appears in later time, Jamie's release of a young English lad who tries to kill him while he and Claire are camped out in the open. The daughter born to Jamie and Claire is named Brianna after Jamie's father, Brian, but is reared as Frank's daughter and only after his accidental death is Claire released from a promise not to tell Brianna of her biological father while Frank lived. Brianna is not happy nor can she at first accept this. Enter Roger Wakefield whose adopted father helped Frank Randall many times in tracing his ancestors or historical facts needed in his research as a historian. Roger falls for Brianna - but that is another story...to come. He does help Claire in her research and helps bring her and Brianna to the realization that JAMIE DID NOT die at Culloden. Flash forward to the modern day and in learning of Claire's motherhood and then of her entering the world of academia to earn her MD. Her best friend, Dr. Joe Abernathy, is another of those figures, facts of whom turn up in other parts of this long and twisted tale. I found it amusing when she asks him if he thinks she is sexy...wanting to know if Jamie might still find her attractive...if she finds a way to time travel again. There are parts of this story set in France, where, as other have stated, Jamie and Claire have traveled to 1.) Escape possible arrest and execution by the British, again, for him and 2.) To allow healing of Jamie's body and soul and 3.) To attempt to meet and form a close relationship with Bonnie Prince Charles and influence him to not return to Scotland and thus, prevent the fatal battle at Culloden, which Claire knows of from her 20th century knowledge of history. We read of many persons of importance in this saga and we follow Claire's pregnancy, Jamie's physical and psychological torture at the hands of Black Jack Randall, the uses of many flowers and herbs, secret societies, love affairs, religious beliefs and practices, and meet many new characters who will show up again and again over this epic tale. For me this is one of the best series of stories I have ever read. Hard to grasp that this tale will spread over 8 books!
Review: Don't Be Put Off by the Genre. This is the BEST Series! - This review is for the entire series. For those who complained it is too long...um, did you not see how long it was before you purchased it? Maybe stick to the 300 page novels of lower quality. For those who complains it has graphic sex....uh, it IS technically classified as romance...and you can skip the sex scenes and not detract from the story. Ok. When my husband first brought this book back with him from Iraq (donated to the USO)and he told me he was reading a historical-fiction/romance/fantasy/time travel book, I teased him. I thought no way could such a book be an actual worthy read. I am a constant reader. I have to always have a book. So, when I was in-between books, I picked up this book just to pass the time. Don't make the same mistake I did..DO NOT be fooled by the genre. Don't make the mistake of thinking that these are typical bodice-ripping Highlander trash-romance...they are not. They are real literature. I do not enjoy romance novels, though I will read one if it is the only reading material available. I have to say that this series of books, though they do contain sex scenes, is NOT romance. They are a complex tale full of an entire cast of well-developed characters. I have been on the discussion boards that center around this series. Most of the women seem to be in love with (at least the idea of) the main male character, Jamie. As proof of how good the story told and the writing in this book is, I need to say that the physical description of him (and some parts of his personality) are a complete turn-off to me. He is pretty much the opposite of what I like. However, you don't need to be attracted to a character to enjoy reading about them and to grow to admire and care about them. The love story between Jamie and Claire is quite inspiring, so much so that my husband and I actually got matching tattoos inspired by the books. These stories are so well-written and in-depth, that I read them aloud to my children (simply not reading the child-inappropriate parts aloud) and all of them, from my 7-year-old daughter to my 18-year-old son, are as captivated as I am. These books weave the tale of well-developed, multifaceted characters, exploring their personal growth, interactions and relationships with one another, their people in their communities, and some well-known historical figures, all within the context of various historical time periods. From Jacobite-era Scotland to pre-revolutionary North Carolina (and many places in between), you will follow a brilliantly-written, gripping saga and you will be a part of a world you won't want to leave.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome, awesome, awesome. A bit long..but still awesome.
*by P***S on February 18, 2015*

Again I must repeat myself. ‘Where have you been all of my life?’ I am not even sure if my devotion to the literary world was as great as I thought it was until I begun this series. Yes, what a grand statement you are making Meg (I hear you say), but if I searched into that little place in my heart that holds all of the books I have loved, then I think right now I need to make a whole new room to immortalise Gabaldon. Dragonfly in Amber was an excellent sequel to Outlander. Although from the very first page I was a bit hesitant because I thought ‘oh no. Not a time jump…I really hate time jumps.’ But alas this was short lived as you are then transported back through time to figure out why the beginning part happened in the first place..and it is heart wrenchingly beautiful. At times the book did drag on a bit, and I was a tad bit confused whilst trying to piece together the events both historically accurate with particular characters based on actual people. It felt as though I was back in high school sitting in a history class just waiting for someone to give me a dot point form of years and events. Then again I was also eager for the focus to switch back to Jamie, so I probably wasn’t paying as close attention as I probably should have. Regardless, Gabaldon had done her research. All elements, even the little details about fire places or specific games, were clearly historically referenced. That is dedication to your craft dear readers. Which is why you can seamlessly be transported back in time. She is a flawless writer. I adore Jamie and Claire. They are the absolute definition of soul mate. In the second instalment you get to see them settle into their marriage, but still with that fiery passion we all love to read from Gabaldon. I really loved how their relationship evolved and became so much more, it really built upon the events that happened in such an honest way. Their relationship with Jack Randall just gives me the shivers. And I hate that Gabaldon made me feel pity towards him. He is such a complex character that from a writers point of view you have to admire his depth, but from a person point of view – he really needs to die. I love the complexity and richness of this world. It is very rare that I finish a novel and just think that it was such a joy to read. I am always eager to return to this world, and I just am in awe at it’s brilliance.
