Book 6 in the Outlander series is truly a remarkable continuation that takes us on an incredibly wild journey.

Just like the previous installments, it is filled with adventure, shock, and heartbreak. However, this time around, there is a slightly more prominent family feel.

By the time you reach book 6, you truly feel like you are a part of the family. There are those you care for deeply and those who are more like distant relatives you only see at Christmas.

I am still somewhat amazed by how much trouble one couple can get themselves into, even in their 50s and beyond. But this time, a few other family members are also thrown into the mix of trouble.

I have laughed, cried, laughed a bit more, and then sobbed my heart out. It is definitely more emotional this time, and at times, it can be very dark. Nevertheless, there is a great sense of humor that runs throughout the story.

The characters are all dealing with life and trying to find their own place in this new world. Just when they seem to have achieved some stability, something terrible occurs. The children in the story are truly a delight and help to soften the hard times.

At times, I feel so sorry for Jamie Fraser. If I were him, I might have found the nearest circle of stones and dropped Claire off, saying, "See you later, Sassenach. I need a break. Come back in another 20 years."

I wholeheartedly recommend this series. It is a captivating and unforgettable read that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.

It has been an eternity since I last delved into an Outlander book. And after immersing myself in this one,

I can joyfully affirm that I truly relished it.

"A Breath of Snow and Ashes" still features your beloved couple, Jamie and Claire. Or perhaps they're your least favorite? Who can say! I'm well aware that I've experienced my fair share of highs and lows with these books and this couple. But once they reached North Carolina, I was completely hooked.

This installment is about the American Revolution, which is in full swing, baby! Reading about how Jamie and Claire were part of that was truly fascinating. They both have to make extremely tough and captivating decisions in this book. Especially when they know what is actually going to happen and how they can alter the future. Then there's the whole matter of loyalty that comes into play.

Besides those two, there's Brianna and Roger, who also encounter some crazy stuff. However, I do love the romance and chemistry between Jamie and Claire more. Sorry, not sorry.

Now, I'm not going to enumerate every character in this book because we meet a plethora of them. There are simply too many to discuss or keep track of. In the end, I did enjoy this book. I wouldn't necessarily claim that it's my favorite in the entire series because 1) that would be a falsehood and 2) that would be the original Outlander - obviously!

5 Stars for A Breath of Snow and Ashes: Outlander, Book 6 (audiobook) by Diana Gabaldon read by Davina Porter and Geraldine James.

I don't even know where to begin. This story is truly epic in scale, taking the reader on a wild and unforgettable journey. Yet, at times, it can be brutally honest and heart-wrenching. The audiobook, which clocks in at a whopping 57 hours, is a testament to the depth and complexity of the story. I'm someone who usually blazes through an audiobook in a single day, but this one had me pacing myself over the course of a week. And yet, for some inexplicable reason, the story never once felt bogged down or拖沓. In fact, I was completely hooked from start to finish. I'm so invested in these characters and their lives that I've decided to pace myself and only read one Outlander book a year. It's a decision that I know will be well worth it in the long run, as I get to savor every moment of this amazing series.

Well, and it is done.

This simple statement holds a certain finality. It implies that a task, a project, or an endeavor has reached its conclusion. It could be the completion of a small chore around the house, like painting a room or fixing a leaky faucet. Or perhaps it's the end of a much larger and more significant undertaking, such as writing a book, graduating from school, or achieving a long-term career goal.

When we say "Well, and it is done," there is often a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. We have put in the effort, overcome challenges, and now can look back on what we have achieved. It is a moment to celebrate, even if it is a quiet celebration within ourselves.

However, it is also important to note that the end of one thing often marks the beginning of another. Just because something is done doesn't mean that our journey stops. There are always new opportunities, new goals to pursue, and new challenges to face. So, while we should take the time to appreciate what we have accomplished, we should also look forward with anticipation and excitement for what lies ahead.

Well, and it is done. Let's move forward and see where the next adventure takes us.

Firstly, I have watched the Outlander Netflix series. I was completely captivated by it and liked it so very much. As a result, I decided to explore the books as well. I chose to listen to them on Audible. There are indeed some differences between the book and the Netflix series. It has been truly interesting to discover and understand these differences.

In my opinion, the audiobook was narrated extremely well. I could clearly hear a Scottish accent, or at least that's what I thought it sounded like. After all, I am not Scottish myself. The narrator did an excellent job of bringing the story to life.

I loved this audiobook to the bits. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking an excellent storyline to enhance and fulfill their daily lives. It offers a wonderful escape into a world of adventure, romance, and history. Whether you are a fan of the Netflix series or simply looking for a great listen, this audiobook is definitely worth checking out.

Rewrite and expand the article:

Prepare for battle - sex scene - Claires in danger - Jamie saves her - sex scene - prepare for battle etc etc. This seems to be the never-ending cycle of the story. The charming Scottish scenery and the forbidden love that initially captivated me in the first book have long since faded away. Even the time travel aspects, which were once novel and exciting, now seem passé. This latest episode feels as stale as a marriage between two fifty-somethings living in social isolation. It's a disappointment, really. I expected more from this series. But alas, it seems to have lost its charm and become a predictable and tiresome repetition of the same old plot elements.

Copy + paste. Copy + paste. Copy + paste. That's all this series is, honestly. I'm not sure how much longer I can continue to watch or read. It's time for something new and fresh to come along and reignite my interest.

3.5/5 stars

This rating indicates that the product or service being reviewed has received a moderately positive evaluation. While it may not be perfect, it has several aspects that are worthy of note.

Perhaps the product functions well overall, but there are a few minor glitches or areas for improvement. Or maybe the service is good, but the wait times could be shorter or the staff could be more knowledgeable in certain areas.

However, it's important to remember that a 3.5-star rating is still a respectable score. It shows that the provider has put in the effort and has achieved a certain level of quality.

For consumers, a 3.5-star rating can be a useful guide when making a decision. It can help them narrow down their options and choose a product or service that is likely to meet their needs and expectations.

In conclusion, while a 3.5-star rating may not be the highest, it's still a sign of a decent product or service that is worth considering.

Was lange währt wird endlich gut. - So oder so ähnlich :D

I must admit that for this tome - and I'm not kidding when I say it has over 1300 pages - I've taken more time than usual. But I simply wanted to soak up as much as possible of this epic story, to enjoy every single page and absorb every single word.

I've rarely read anything better than this series by Diana Gabaldon. And I'm slowly starting to break out in a cold sweat of fear that one day her books will run out and I'll have to - God forbid - say goodbye to Claire and Jamie at some point.

Of course, in this book too, quite a few things happen again. We're once again approaching a dangerous time in history for our protagonists, and we accompany them as they prepare for it. In the interpersonal realm, abysses open up again that I never would have suspected. Sorry that I can't tell you more about the content, but since it's already book 6, everything I told you would be a spoiler.

Most importantly, however: as with every book in the Outlander saga, I laughed and cried, and I still haven't had enough of the story. I'm looking forward to returning to our beloved characters in book 7 as well. It's like coming home every time :)

[Lu / Écouté en livre audio selon les moments]

What a joy it is to take advantage of my vacation to immerse myself for hours each day in a volume of Outlander! It is a work with an uneven rhythm, as is often the case with Gabaldon. And although I found the heart of the novel rather hollow, the beginning is powerful and the last third, oh my, just brilliant! It has revived my enthusiasm for the saga after a very "everyday" fifth volume - here the adventures are plentiful, and my heart has clenched at the sight of the difficult decisions that the characters face... I love the turn that the events have taken, in any case: they presage an interesting continuation.

I have been listening to the audiobook according to the moments, which has added an extra dimension to my reading experience. The narrator's voice brings the story to life, making it even more engaging. I can't wait to see what happens next in this captivating saga.

Perfecto.

Hermoso y perfecto. This is simply amazing. It is my favorite up until now.

There is a placid sensation in my chest, and everything just feels right. Gurises, I don't know how else to describe it.

Once again, it is perfect.

I can't get enough of this wonderful feeling. It's like a dream come true.

Every moment spent experiencing this is precious and memorable.

I hope it lasts forever.

It's truly a remarkable thing.

Perfecto!

As much as I have a great love for the overall captivating stories within these books, I find that some of the minutiae has a tendency to disrupt the smooth flow of the narrative.

I chose to listen to this particular one on Audiobook, and I must admit that it made the experience even more challenging. In the future, I will definitely stick to the paperbacks.

The narrator, in my opinion, was both too posh and seemed a bit too old for the role. Moreover, Brianna's voice was disappointingly identical to Claire's, despite Brianna being American.

I truly wish I could have liked the audiobooks, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. In fact, I abandoned the book near the end and had to ask a friend what happened because I simply couldn't bear to listen to it anymore.

Anyway, I am looking forward to reading the next two installments, which I already have in paperback. I'm hopeful that the traditional reading format will allow me to fully immerse myself in the story and enjoy it to the fullest.

Whew. That was an intense experience, more than a marathon indeed. What is that Olympic sport where they ski and shoot? Well, this book is like that, but with added challenges such as finding a needle in a haystack, cutting gum from your hair, trying to remove blood stains from every item of clothing you wear every day for 6 months, participating in a spelling bee in a language you don't speak, and running for president in a country on another planet. Whew.

There is so much going on here. So much! I've sort of developed a bit more of an affection for Roger, but really, not that much. He's still a rather lazy and entitled jerk. However, I've definitely grown to love Brianna more. She's such a doer, unstoppable. Jaime and Claire, I love both of you to the ends of your crazy hairs. Jem, you really need to grow up. And the BUGS! Oh my God. I'm completely destroyed. Malva, I cry for you. I LOVE YOU MALVA! (By the way, my mother's first name is Melva, named after an uncle Melvin. Gross, right? She hates it too. But now Malva is Melva and Melva is Malva for me. Uma meet Oprah, Oprah meet Uma.)

Now, I'm onto my re-read of book 8. I'll probably watch the whole first half of the Starz season tonight. Well, not really as it's getting late, but *sigh* I love this series. Despite its flaws, it's a wonderful series about the love, loyalty, courage, and power of family.
