Dragonfly in Amber
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.65/5 from 168 reviews It's a GREAT BOOK!One review said that this book (Dragonfly in Amber) must have been written by someone whose research came from English history books. I've read Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, and am now reading Voyager. Okay, I know the Scottish view of Bonny Prince Charlie and the highlanders who fought at Culloden is somewhat idealized, but the book was obviously well-researched. It's clear that the author went to some trouble not to just grab the everyday information that's available from "English history books." Most common sources don't include quite a few items that the book makes note of; therefore, the author went to extra trouble to find the information and make use of it. Dragonfly in Amber is a wonderful book. Many authors try to achieve the level of writing that Diana Gabaldon employs, yet so often they fail. The entire Outlander series is a must read for everybody, not just those who follow this genre. Aspiring writers should read this book to learn about how their craft should be done. Others should read the series if they are at all interested in romance, Scotland, Europe, timetravel, and just because it draws people in and doesn't let go. FYI:Read-You WONT be disappointed!!I'm still riding high from the first book, Outlander. As soon as I finished it I started on Dragonfly in Amber with more relish. The characters are so memorable, strong and resilient. It's great that they can be continued and the transition is well done. The strong Red Jamie and the mystical Claire, the healer. She doesn't spend too much time retelling and gives us enough glimpse of what happened during those missing years without boring you too much. Enter Brianna, Jamie and Claire's only child, who is unaware of the true origins of her heritage. Some of the events and scenes are little unbelievable. It seems that everybody wants Jamie the Warrior. Their plight in Paris and political escapades are intriguing and we are enlightened about Claire's husband, Frank Randall's relative, Black Jack Randall. Gaps are filled in that weren't there in the first book. As soon as you finish this book, the cliffhanger will make you get the third installment ASAP! All in all, you will highly enjoy the second installment of the series. Still AddictedThis is a great sequel to OUTLANDER. The hero and heroine are in for more action, wrenching emotions, and the war for Scottish independence. What more can I say? - GREAT READING | ||||||||||||||||||||
