6th Book Does Not Disappoint
After reading the first five Voyager series books, I was thrilled with this book. It tied up so many loose ends from the other books and gave an even more intimate look at the characters. This is one of the better books in an excellent series of books. Diana Gabaldon's books are entertaining, engrossing and even educational. I find them hard to put down once I start reading.
Satisfying, as usual
Gabaldon paints her books with thick color. Her characters are so well-developed that I feel I know them all very well. A
Breath
of
Snow
and
Ashes closes
some questions left from earlier volumes, and rounds out some character detail. I don't want to give anything away here, but it was a thoroughly satisfying read. Happily, it also leaves an opening for further Jamie/Clair volumes.
After reading this 6th book in the series, I started with
Outlander
and am re-reading them all. They're giving me as much pleasure the second time around.

Great Ending to the Outlander Series
I'm finally done! Whew! I read the whole series and I thought the last, A
Breath
of
Snow
and
Ashes
, was just as good as the others. I do wish that it wasn't as quickly tied up at the end, jumping around, without the final word on what happened to Claire and Jamie, but on the whole I really enjoyed every word.
I suggest you start from the beginning of the series and make sure you have lots of time to devour all 6. I stayed up way to late for a month or so :-)
Brilliant, entertaining, loved every moment of it!
I have never before read a series where the author exceeds my expectations. This series owned me from the very first read. I loved the characters, her writing style has always been great. How she has gone from great to superb is amazing to me, but what a treat for us all. Diana, you truly rule the art of the story with this latest book. Love, love, love your writing!

Great book!
Loved this one! I am a big fan of revolution-era fiction, and I just love Claire and Jamie!

Eagerly anticipated by her legions of fans, this sixth novel in Diana Gabaldon?s bestselling
Outlander saga
is a masterpiece of historical fiction from one of the most popular authors of our time.
Since the initial publication of Outlander fifteen years ago, Diana Gabaldon?s New York Times bestselling saga has won the hearts of readers the world over ? and sold more than twelve million books. Now, A
Breath
of
Snow
and
Ashes continues
the extraordinary story of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century wife, Claire.
The year is 1772, and on the eve of the American Revolution, the long fuse of rebellion has already been lit. Men lie dead in the streets of Boston, and in the backwoods of North Carolina, isolated cabins burn in the forest.
With chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the backcountry and safeguard the colony for King and Crown. But from his wife Jamie knows that three years hence the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the result will be independence ? with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile. And there is also the matter of a tiny clipping from The Wilmington Gazette, dated 1776, which reports Jamie?s death, along with his kin. For once, he hopes, his time-traveling family may be wrong about the future.
From the Hardcover edition.
