Title: Long-awaited Sequel Not Worth Waiting For
Review: I've read all of Galbaldon's books. Like many I was captivated by the first and second book and I eagerly awaited each subsequent edition. In her sequels Galbaldon never quite captures the magic of the original story. With each book, I've been increasingly disappointed. I had hoped that, after waiting so long for The Fiery Cross to be finished, it would recapture the essence of the first book. Sadly, it doesn't.This book is written as if everything was an afterthought-- "oh, yeah, I almost forgot to include something about ____" -- rather than a well-crafted plot. As a result, it is a rambling story of too many people of too little consequence held together with bits on herbal remedies, biology lessons, and celtic phrases.I wish she had stopped with the first three books.
