Book Reviews of Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander, Book 2)

Book Review: There must be something wrong with me because I thought it was boring
Summary: 2 Stars

I don't get why this book is so popular. I liked OUTLANDER. Very readable. Fun. Unique love story, but this one is a real struggle.

I gave up on it 640 pages in after 3 months of TRYING, trying TRYING to get through this book.

It's slow to start. The first time I tried to read DRAGONFLY I only got about 40 pages in before giving up. You think Brianna is going to be a larger part of the story but she's not. The part in France is pretty good, but it takes about 200 pages to get there, and the fun abruptly ends and they head back to Scotland. Scotland is where it gets boring again.

Also, the back suggests that there is a lot of hot sexy action, but there is none.

Summary of Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander, Book 2)

With her now-classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon introduced two unforgettable characters - Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser - delighting readers with a story of adventure and love that spanned two centuries. Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful follow-up to Outlander....

For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic 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 Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his....

Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire's spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart ... in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising ... and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves....
