Negative Positive
Title: Misses the Mark
Review: Please don't get me wrong; I LOVED the first and second books in the Outlander series, but I think they have gotten progressively worse and The Fiery Cross is not a good book. It is agonizingly detailed without any purpose. I really don't need 4 1/2 pages on a stinky diaper.Countless new characters are introduced without any direction or reason. None of them enhance the story or advance the plot....is there a plot? I felt like this was 1,000 pages of set up for the final book. Jamie does still have his adorable moments that remind us why we love him so much. But I would think Claire would have outgrown her tantrums and moments of ridiculous naivety. Roger and Brianna continue to be bland and boring. In fact, that is how I would sum up the entire book, boring. All fans will read it anyway, but don't expect too much.
Is the review positive or negative?
