Advantages: all the good elements of the first two books

Disadvantages: not quite as good as the other books

Appropriately named, this book takes us on the next journey of Claire and Jamie, and not only jumps between present day and eighteenth century Scotland, but travels around the world as well.

I have to admit that as a huge fan of the series, this is probably my least favourite book, but still worth a read so that you know what's going on when you get to the fourth book! I can't pinpoint why this one doesn't live up to the first two, or the following books, perhaps for me it is because a good part of it doesn't take place in Scotland, which was a big draw for me in the first two novels.

It's hard to write about the story without giving it away for people who haven't read it, but the action, adventure, drama, romance and mystery of the first two books are still there, and the chemistry between the leading characters that draws you in and makes you feel such a part of the story will never be lost, no matter what the story line is!

Summary: worth reading, but not quite as exciting as expected
