I have to say I agree. After such a long wait, this one was a letdown. I think that is often the way when a writer's attention becomes diverted into other projects (LJG). The magic of the original seems to disappear. It also seems like she had this behemouth of a book and then had to rush the ending to meet her deadline. I wonder if she ever re-read the whole thing, because it sure doesn't seem like it. There probably wasn't time. Does anyone remember her blog post about her typical day? She has a million and one non-book related things to do as well as trying to write! So it's not surprising, but I hope the next one is more cohesive and less rambling. And I also hope it is the last, because it feels like the Claire and Jamie story has lost some steam. -- LOL Reading Recommendation Board

I am so glad to read these replies. I was one of the UK Hosers who was overjoyed to be able to get a copy before the UK publishing date. I have had the book since end of September. I finished my other book first, as I was savouring it, looking at it as it lay on my dresser, waiting to be read. I began it at the beginning of November and haven't read 200 pages yet. I'm finding it hard to get into and I'm leaving it for days between reading so have to reread to remind myself where I'm up to. I've been feeling so guilty, thinking it was just me!!
