Review: I have been a fan of Diana Gabaldon for many years

As a fan, I decided to read this Novella.  It starts out as richly and as interestingly as her other books.  I found myself intrigued by the characters and the personalities that began to unfold.  The concept is brilliant, but the execution falls short.  About two thirds thru the book, the story intensifies and then ends like a cheesy novel - it's like falling off a cliff, it ends rather nowhere, except to leave the possibility open for MORE story or a sequel.I was disappointed in this novella.  I wanted it to go on, I wanted more story.  So, as much as I felt as though I wasted my money purchasing this novella, the writing was excellent, as the work of Diana Gabaldon truly is.  Again...the concept great, but the story wasn't large enough, despite the breadth of the story line, it lacked depth.If you like Gabaldon's work, you will find it a pleasure just to fall into her words and let them take you where they will, but it's not a keeper, not something to keep in your Library to read again and again and again.
