The magnificent saga continues....
It began in Scotland, at an ancient stone circle. There, a doorway, open to a select few, leads into the past—or the grave. Claire Randall survived the extraordinary passage, not once but twice. Her first trip swept her into the arms of Jamie Fraser, an eighteenth-century Scot whose love for her became legend—a tale of tragic passion that ended with her return to the present to bear his child. Her second journey, two decades later, brought them together again in frontier America. But Claire had left someone behind in the twentieth century. Their daughter, Brianna....
Now Brianna has made a disturbing discovery that sends her to the stone circle and a terrifying leap into the unknown. In search of her mother and the father she has never met, she is risking her own future to try to change history...and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past...or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong....

Sadly, I'm getting more disappointed with this series as I read through them. Two more to go, which I will read as I'm curious to find out what happens with them all.
The book is very long, slow in parts and has lost some of the magic of the earlier books. I still like Jamie and Claire, Brianna just needs a bit of a slap, but Roger does come in to his own. I've read a number of reviews which criticise how easily Brianna and Roger transition into the past, and I have to agree that it's a bit unconvincing.
Anyway, overall I rated it a 5 as I enjoyed it enough to keep going, tougher editing would have resulted in a higher rating.
Hope the next reader enjoys, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
