This is the sixth of the long novels in the Outlander series. Beginning in 1773, the book delves into the beginnings of the Revolutionary War. Gabaldon did a wonderful job creating dialogue between loyalists and rebels that felt realistic. It's easy to forget that the Revolutionary War was a war that split families' loyalties. Having the foreknowledge of what would happen, Jamie is forced to cut off his ties to the British and join the rebels - cutting himself off from Lord John and his son in the process.
The Frasers and Murrays continue their penchant for getting themselves into trouble. At one point, I found myself wondering how many times women from the same family could be kidnapped.
If you've been reading the series, this book is where we finally find out young Jem's paternity - no spoilers here though!
Gabaldon has created a world that I enjoy visiting and I'm always a little sad when I finish one of the books (even though 979 pages is a lot to read through). I'll be starting the next book in the series soon.
