Title: Is There an Editor in the House??
Review: What a disappointment! I thought that the first three in the series (Outlander, Dragonfly & Voyager) were well-written and innovative fiction, and Drums was fair-to-middling. Unfortunately, Fiery Cross is a saggy, baggy mass of largely extraneous details on life in 18th century North America, with some familiar characters tossed in. I sure am glad I read a library copy, and didn't pay for it. I'll probably read the next one, hoping that in the meantime Ms. Gabaldon will stop with the self-indulgent, unedited prose, and accept the advice (and pruning) of competent editors. Delacorte should be ashamed of themselves for letting this one loose on the public in this state.
