An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon
4.0
I am actually a little confused right now, having finished what I thought was the last book about Jamie and Claire, Brianna, Roger, Jem and Mandy... This book did not at all have any final rings to it! And I am wondering if the Lord John Grey books have more about my new friends...
I did like this book a lot, but it was compartimentalized a lot, since we learnt of William, John, Claire and Jamie, Jenny and the others in Scotland, Arch, Bree and Roger in 1980 etc
I think I would have liked it more if there was less about John and William, but more about Claire and Jamie, as well as Bree et al. I might change my mind later, and also maybe I'll change my review if that is the case.
So many lose ends here, that I do not at all feel satisfied, as I have been with the other books in this series. Really, where (or when?) did Roger and Buck end up? When will Brianna find out where Jem is? Will Mandy tell her through her bond with Jem? What will happen with Jamie, John and Claire? Will Rachel and Ian marry? How will Jenny fare in America? What will Jamie think of the fact that Claire had thought him dead, and swiftly married John? Will Roger be able to come back to Lallybroch again? See what I mean? Really, too many lose ends for such a LONG series to end like this!
OK, now I feel folish! I just realized that there are more books to come :D I will change this review soon!
