Yashima reviewed Written in My Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon (Outlander, #8)
Review of "Written in My Own Heart's Blood" on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
It's been some time that I finished this one. That the review comes a month late, may show how much I was bored by this book. I didn't like the added Jamie viewpoint (is this new?), the story bored me over long stretches, because it's same-old, same-old and by now I don't think anything much can come between Claire and Jamie anymore. The conflicts are stale. Even the cliffhanger from the previous book turned out ... slow. The story should have switched back to Brianna and Roger for good, that might have saved it. But instead more supernatural stuff is introduced for that storyline. The complete William storyline was just flowing along, no real highs, no real lows ... so he hates everyone who lied to him and goes looking for his cousin and saves the whore's sister. This book opens up many new storylines but doesn't resolve a thing except for the cliffhanger from the previous episode ... maybe the next one will be better or maybe I'll just not read the next one. I am rather disappointed with this.
