A review by eantoinette285
A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon
5.0
As usual, five stars for this phenomenal series to date! These books are quite an investment to delve into, but once you do, it's like you're the time-traveler and you're consumed by another world.
Within six books and years gone by, I've traveled the world with Jamie, Claire, and their extended family. From battles in the Scotland Highlands to the royal French court, ships to the Indies, and now I'm in the American colonies on the eve of a Revolution.
It can't be said that Diana hasn't done her research. From the herbs and medicines Claire uses in her surgery, to the Gaelic that Jamie speaks to Brianna and kinsmen, the events of the period, and more, not a detail is spared between the pages.
This book, as with the previous, is crammed full of love, romance, battle, murder, pirates, politics, family, and both physical and emotional adventures for the reader. It's bittersweet to be approaching the end of this series (for now.. I know at least one more book is coming). I feel like a well-established member of the Fraser family and I don't want to part with them to go back to my own time. Only two books left to go...
