It's always a strange feeling when you finish one of these. I know it's not the end, but having just spent 6 weeks reading this, I feel a bit listless.

Not at all my favorite in the series. I find William an absolute bore and found myself shutting down everytime it was his POV. 

SO MUCH happened in the last 60-70 pages that I felt dizzy. I adore Ian and Rachel so much.

Echo is the first book since Voyager that kept me wanting to read more. I usually have a few moments of “get on with it, Gabaldon” while reading her books, but this time that never really happened. It was an enjoyable read with many interesting side characters and their stories all come together perfectly!
