Review: Written in My Own Heart's Blood

Written in My Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just can't help myself - I love these books. When Micah was born, I got a bunch of "beach reading" books, thinking that early in maternity leave I'd want some easy novels.

Apparently, not so. After a few poorly-written books I found myself sleep-deprived and hating what I was reading, instead of sleep-deprived and loving what I was reading. So back to Gabaldon I went, to her most recent book, released in paperback on Micah's due date.

This was the first one I thought gave Brianna's storyline the same weight as Claire's. I enjoyed following both stories - opening with Claire in Philadelphia during the Revolution and Brianna searching for her kidnapped son, but of course quickly winding its way to be about significantly different times, places, and concerns.

Overall, this did not disappoint - except the end. Not the ending - which was the most mischievous ever in this series - but that it was over and for the first time I was no longer behind, so now I have to wait for her to write and publish them.
