This is not the best book of the series. The first 500 pages were terrible. After that, I liked it more and more. Brianna and Roger are not developed, They Do not get to my heart like Claire and Jamie DO. I almost do not care what happens to them. They're even stupid sometimes. So, I do not like the predictability. This book was my least favorite in the series by far. I do not how you guys can rate this, "This is the best book I ever read." Read Gone with the Wind and then let us know how you feel about this one. There are not enough historical references for me here at all. At least Outlander was well researched. This book could've taken place at anytime and we would not have noticed. The story starts to get worn out and tired after awhile. In Outlander, It was gripping, something what happening every single page. This was a bore .... Sorry, Diana. I hope the next one is a winner! And you know I'll be reading it anyway ...
