Review: Lord John novella with excerpt of next Outlander book
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 7, 2013
This is a novella about Lord John's occult experience on the islands.  I would have preferred it had been released at the same time or nearer to when that part of the timeline was covered in the main story line.  I feel it was released to reawaken our interest in the series since there is so much time between books, and the Zombie theme capitalizes on the occult craze that has grown exponentially in the last 5 years.Even though I generally don't care for occult books because there is too much gore for my taste, it did remind me of why I enjoy reading this author.  Her style and historical research shows her commitment to her readers.The excerpt provided at the end was worth getting the novella because it whetted interest and refreshed the main characters in my mind.  It is good that our 3.5 year wait is almost over for the next Outlander due in December.  Oh!  It says 1008 pages!  My wrists and hands are beyond thankful for ebook format this time!Format: Borrowed ebook
