About this ebook
THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING OUTLANDER SERIES - now a major TV series!
'Outlander is epic, magical, and deeply romantic. A true gift to all readers.’ Ali Hazelwood
‘A stone-cold classic' Katherine Arden
'Scotland's answer to Game of Thrones' Herald

___________
For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to the majesty of Scotland's mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones, about a love that transcends the boundaries of time, and about James Fraser, a warrior whose gallantry once drew the young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his.
Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful daughter as Claire's spellbinding journey continues in the intrigue-ridden court of Charles Edward Stuart, in a race to thwart a doomed uprising, and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.

I've only just read the free demo version! Was a bit lost, because I couldn't help wondering how, why or when did Claire go back thru the stones to her own time? At the end of Outlander, she let's Jamie in on that secret and they only mentioned Italy, France or Scotland, I didn't think that they had really decided... What do I have to read to find out what, why and when she went back. That kind of ruined it a bit for me...

I liked it, not as much as the first book. It felt too long and having unnecessary details for the flow of the plot at times. I enjoyed the story lines and character development.

Things from the past and the future of that past are amazingly clashing at the ending of this book. Imagination pushes its barriers and you find yourself wanting more excitement, looking for more drama while Gabaldon is giving you the bits. But there are more for sure, as your mind expands to reach the other possibilities that could happen as you think what if "that" hadn't happened and"the other thing" had happened.

About the author
Diana Gabaldon is the author of the international bestselling Outlander novels and Lord John Grey series.
She says that the Outlander series started by accident: 'I decided to write a novel for practice in order to learn what it took to write a novel, and to decide whether I really wanted to do it for real. I did - and here we all are trying to decide what to call books that nobody can describe, but that fortunately most people seem to enjoy.'
And enjoy them they do - in their millions, all over the world. Published in 42 countries and 38 languages, in 2014 the Outlander novels were made into an acclaimed TV series starring Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser and Caitriona Balfe as Claire. Seasons three and four are currently in production.
Diana lives with her husband and dogs in Scottsdale, Arizona, and is currently at work on her ninth Outlander novel.
