A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Wow! Am I finally finished with this book? It is the longest book I think I have ever read. I don’t think it needs to be that long, either.
Look. Don’t get me wrong. I still love the story, the characters, the concept of the time travel element. I just found the length unbearable with the thousands of books I have on my TBR shelf.
It is fun to explore the early days in America with the characters. I have to admit that I loved the time in Scotland the most, so this book is missing that aspect.
The other problem that I had with this book is the magical narrator, Divina Porter, just couldn’t handle all the characters. Now that Brea is an adult, she sounds like Clair. Now that Roger is an adult, he sounds like Jamie. All the children sound the same. Maybe if I could read at the same time as listening, I could sort them out. But that is not possible for me and my eyes.
The last thing I need to point out, in case it counts for your reading the book is, I am already reading book 7, so…
It is worth the read. Stay with it. There are little rewards in the story. And in this crazy world, a sweet time-travel romance can calm the worries that like to strike at bedtime.

I hope you enjoy the whole series.
