I absolutely loved this installment of the Outlander series. It was a "Breath of Fresh Air" after The Fiery Cross, which lost me for a while due to its seemingly unnecessary detail of boring plots which did nothing to enhance the story line. But with this book she get the story right back on track and is just as exciting as ever. I'll definately read it again!
