I'm torn. There are parts of "Written in My Own Heart's Blood" that are equal to some of the best I've ever read, but then there are some elements that I came to feel were self-indulgent vanities on the part of the author. About half-way through I had the sudden thought that this series needs to come to an end and soon.All of the praise for Ms. Gabaldon's writing is well deserved as this book is all that we have come to expect from her. She is able to establish setting and character better than pretty much any author I've ever read with the possible exception of Stephen King. I feel like I know Jamie and Claire as well as I know members of my own family. The author's powers of description are excellent and her ability to create tension are outstanding.The story contains all the familiar, well-loved characters, adds several new ones and continues smoothly connected to the one that came before it in Echo in the Bone. We find out the fate of Bree, Roger, and Jem in the modern times as well as seeing Jamie and Claire through some of the early and bitter battles of the American Revolution. Lord John and William also get a fair amount of play in this novel. Truth be told, I found Lord John's story and struggles in this novel thoroughly engrossing almost more so than that of many of the other characters. However, I must confess that William's bellyaching and moaning about his paternity wore out its welcome well before it ended and his and Jamie's collaboration on a problem near the end of the novel stretched my credulity a bit.So, what then is the problem that has me so torn on how to rate this novel? As in each novel, the author mentions in "Written" the time it takes to do the research that results in 4-5 years between the publication of each book. Several reviewers of the earlier books mentioned what they believed to be an excessive amount of descriptive detail in the early books even to the point of saying that they would skim through her richly detailed descriptions of the herbs and plants that Claire used in the creation of her medicinals. While I could certainly see the basis for their comments, it never really bothered me because I felt like I was learning something in addition to being entertained by the action of the story. In "Written" the research has shifted from herbology, botany and pharmacology to the battles, heroes, villains and key historical characters of the American Revolution: Washington, Benedict Arnold, Natty Bumpo and the French General Lafayette among others the American side and General Clinton and several others on the British side. Perhaps it is because I have pretty good working knowledge of these folks along with the battles described in the book that I found it a bit superfluous and, dare I say it, cheesy. These were the parts that I skimmed thorough. Yes, we meet these characters in relation to Jamie's and Claire's involvement in the early Revolution as well as John Gray's travails in the course of the novel, but it felt as if the author just wanted to show off the depth of her research. If that is the case it would appear that the process has become the most important thing to the author. With the loss of balance, "Written" feels a bit more like historical treatise than engaging historical fiction.I'd also like to add a concern about the increasing use of supernatural or fantasy elements to make various plot lines work. Yes, I realize that one of the central elements is time travel and I was sufficiently enthralled by the story to willingly suspend my disbelief and accept this device. However in "Written" not only do we have the children, Jem and his sister who can "sense" one another even when separated over considerable distances, but also the use of letters that allow Jamie and Claire in the 18th century to communicate with Bree and Roger in the 20th century. This "letters" plot device was introduced in "Echo" and expanded upon in book 8 when Roger makes his trip to 1739 to try to find Jem. Roger writes to Bree, still in 20th century Scotland, to let her know how the search is going and, magically, the letter turns up in the old desk in Lallybroch's speak-a-word room. I thought my eyes were going to roll out of my head as the "letters" are becoming a bit too deus ex machina for my taste. I just wish the postal service was as efficient as Galbadon's time travel mail delivery.Bottom line: I know Ms. Galbadon didn't write this book just for me and while I wasn't as entertained by this one as I have been by the others, I did like finding out what happened to the main characters since "Echo." However, while I appreciate the vast amount of effort that the author puts into the research for her novels, it has begun to feel, to me anyway, that the research process is in ascendancy over the logic of the story. In short, the historical detail seems most important even if it doesn't always add to the readers' enjoyment and sacrifices more logical plot devices and development. Finally, with full knowledge that this may be an unreasonable request and in the face of what some might consider an advanced age, I'd like to live to see the conclusion of this series. At the pace of 4-5 years between books, it's looking less and less likely that will happen.
I am an avid fan of the Outlander books and tv series. I first read the books over 25 years ago or so. For heavens sake, I've even been to Scotland 3 times and on one of the tours, visited several of the Outlander castles. This book is one of most boring books I have ever read in my life. There are thousands and thousands of words and hundreds of pages SAYING NOTHING. Where is the editing on this? There is so much about John Grey and his brother! Does anyone care about John Grey? He should be relegated to minor status and yet a huge part of the book is about him DOING NOTHING. I am unbelievably disappointed and disgusted with this book. Shame on you, Diana Gabaldon! You have stooped to writing uninteresting things about uninteresting characters in what was once an exciting story line. Did you do it for the money? This is just a crushing disappointment.
***No Spoilers****I have been hooked on this series since the original Outlander book, and have read every book, some more than once often in anticipation of the next book. Diana Galbaldon's writing style is easy and flowing, she is extremely accurate with her historic research. You cannot go wrong choosing any of the books in the series to read, or even the John Grey books, which I also read. I enjoyed Written in My Hearts Own Blood very much, I even paced myself to read it so that it could be savored. However, I do not care for the ending of this book and had rather hoped this book would be the conclusion. It will be years until the next book, and will have to wait patiently. I have to say that at some point with the aging of the key characters the series would need to come to an end, I was hoping that death would not be the end. I am still hopeful. :o)
SPOILERI really enjoy the Outlander series and was trying to read this slowly as Book 9 doesn't even have a release date yet, so it'll be some time before I can catch up with these characters again. The ending of the book literally gave me chills. I can't wait for Book 9! However, and here's a spoiler-Bree and Roger's son, Jem, is kidnapped by a man that has discovered one of Bree's parent's letters referring to the lost Stuart gold hidden in the Spaniards Cave in NC; Jem being kid napped because he's the only one that knows the location. Roger-and one of his time traveling relatives go back into the past with the notion of finding Jem and his kidnapper-while under the assumption the kidnapper is searching for the gold. Unfortunately, they end up in the wrong time-like, Jamie Fraser is approx. 19 in Paris and his father Brian is still alive. Regardless, they still think Jem is there and it doesn't cross either of their minds that the Rising hasn't even happened yet and therefore there's no way the gold would even be in existence in NC at that time frame because Jamie and Claire haven't even met yet. I don't understand why this thought wouldn't have occurred to them. I get he meets his dad-they were both thinking "Jem" going through the stones so naturally they're placed in a time where Roger's dad Jeremiah "Jerry" is...um, ok. Then, the kidnapper never actually left the present time with Jem-he's just harassing Bree for some reason. I'm really not sure why...he wants to rape her? But ok, I can live with it bc luckily this plot line more or less resolves itself-thank goodness. Also, William is super annoying. I hope in Book 9 he becomes less whiny, incapable, and less prone to throwing tantrums all the time. Very glad, Ian got a happy bit.
I have read all of the Outlander series and a few of the Lord John books. At the end of each, something happens that leaves me wanting and waiting for the next one again. Now that the family is reunited over time, there is much more story to tell. I have become so familiar with the characters and their ability to adapt to different centuries in time is amazing. I can only hope Diana Gabaldon plans to lead us through yet another chapter in the lives of the Frazier's. The historical accuracy is educational, well-researched and fitting to the story.
