Book Reviews of Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander, Book 2)
Book Review: 2nd in Series does not disappoint except at beginning!
Summary: 5 Stars
The saga of Jamie and Claire Fraser continues from its beginning in "Outlander" and it's a heart rending story of true love challenged by historical events and treachery that conspire to separate the two lovers. I loved the book and my only negative--and it's a big one for me-- is that Gabaldon gave us the ending at the beginning. I'm not giving away the plot when I tell you it begins 20 years after Outlander's end and Claire is now once again Mrs. Randall. It is clear that she and Jamie have been lost to each other for 20 years and Jamie's daughter, Brianna, born after Claire returned to the 20th century, is now a young woman and looks a lot like her father. The fact Jamie and Claire weren't together and had lost the best years of their lives to each other had me truly grieving from page one. Jamie is now the "dragonfly in amber" preserved in Clarie's mind and heart as if frozen in time. After the beginning in 1968, the story goes into flashbacks (as Claire tells Brianna of her father and their love) showing us what happened when Claire and Jamie were last together in the years leading up to Culloden. But my heart knew where it was leading (since she gave it to us on page one) and that fairly depressed me the whole way through I had so come to love the two. Still it's an amazing tale and now I'm on to volume 3, "Voyager," and there's some hope there. I strongly recommend this romance, but read Outlander first. Here's the list of the whole series in order:
Outlander (1991)
Dragonfly in Amber '(1992)
Voyager' (1993)
Drums of Autumn' (1996)
The Fiery Cross '(2001)
A Breath of Snow and Ashes '(2005)'
An Echo in the Bone '(2009)
