		<description><![CDATA[I waited over a year for this book to be out. Pew-Orderd it may 10, 2013!!!! I am frankly very disappointed. I am a HUGE fan of the Outlander series and of all the books, I felt this one was flat. Yes, a lot of history of our revolutionary war in the book but too much jumping around in too many of the character&#039;s lives and none of the original questions that we all expected to be answered were in this novel. i.e.- Jamie&#039;s appearance in front of Frank in the beginning of Outlander, His ability to see Jemy in the future and what happened to get Bree and Roger &amp; family to the Ridge in that time. A lot of this seemed rushed to complete families ( Ian  &amp; Rachel, Dottie &amp; Denny) and not the spark and intensity and DETAIL of emotions for Jamie and Claire. It just seemed you tried to tidy everything up in this ( what seems to be) your last novel. 

I hope Starz does a decent job on your fantastic novel because it sure feels as though you tried to do both at the same ti,

I am and always will be an Outlander lover. I will be watching all of it and I hope it all was worth it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This excerpt was perfect for Christmas when we remember all our family members, past and present. I hope you and all your loved ones had a very peaceful and happy time together (or apart). I also somehow  have the feeling that this new year will see the start of something very special within your family.

I know its not really of great relevance to the story but I especially liked the fact that you mentioned the smell of snow. Even here in England, people don&#039;t seem to notice the smell of snow but it does have a very distinct smell. I grant you that it hasn&#039;t snowed here this year like it has in the USA but still . . .

May the Lord bless you and keep you in perfect peace during the coming year.
