Review: A Wee Bit Abrupt but Excellent

Well written, in the typical Gabaldon style, this novella kept my interest throughout. It was interesting to see a more realistic approach to a person of the present traveling back to a more violent past, and reacting like a human as opposed to a hero to the conditions experienced. .The main character in the past could have been there a little longer and it would have fleshed things out a wee bit better. But Ms Gabaldon definitely tied the mystery of Roger's parents' deaths to the original Outlander series very well. She even threw in an unexpected twist that allows the reader to recall a certain event in the story.Highly recommended, but I am still awaiting her grand finale Book 8 in the Claire & Jamie Epic. Please write it! Let's give Lord John a wee break, shall we?
