This book is my favorite of the series. As in the others, Ms. Gabaldon has an amazing grasp of historical detail. The plot moves at a good pace, and holds together well. The author deftly weaves the multiple story lines, making the unbelievable seem almost logical. Caveat: not for those adamantly opposed to anything supernatural, but fascinating if you take it with a grain of salt. It builds well on the previous books of the series, and leaves the reader eagerly awaiting the next episode. Margaret Dokka

Also, the series is magnificently read by Davina Porter with a vast array af accents and emotion. I really believe her male voices. She only slightly misses the mark with the Brianna, whose voice is English rather than American, but it’s a small matter in the greater scope of the wonderful and imaginative interpretation of Gabaldon’s words.
