An Echo in the Bone: A Novel (Outlander)

The print is much too small for my old eyes.

I, like many others, had waited eagerly for the release of this newest edition to the Outlander series. I am not disappointed....at all. Quite the contrary. I fell obsessed with this series after reading Outlander, thankfully 12 years after its initial publication. I say thankfully because after finishing the first novel, I would have had a heart attack if I couldn't jump on the subway and head to the closest barnes and noble immediately, to get books 2,3, and 4. The end of 'Echo in the Bone' has rekindled that frantic need to get to the next book. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait.....anxious and curious for another few years. It is true what some reviewers have said, that other story lines have taken away the resolute devotion to Jaime and Claire that the first 3 novels had, but I'm not mad at Diana...it actually opens up many other gripping story lines within the series. This author is so talented that I trust her to do justice to the other characters, and can't wait to hear what will happen to them all. After all, it was she who created Jaime and Claire, and I'm sure she has it in her to weave more magic. I don't think it bad when a novel leaves you with bated breath, screaming to know what will happen next. It's called great drama. This book has it. Read it. Now.
