A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon

Synopsis: "The year is 1772, and on the eve of the American Revolution, the long fuse of rebellion has already been lit. Men lie dead in the streets of Boston, and in the backwoods of North Carolina, isolated cabins burn in the forest.

With chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the backcountry and safeguard the colony for King and Crown. But from his wife Jamie knows that three years hence the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the result will be independence—with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile. And there is also the matter of a tiny clipping from The Wilmington Gazette, dated 1776, which reports Jamie’s death, along with his kin. For once, he hopes, his time-traveling family may be wrong about the future." - back cover


My Thoughts

As you all know, I love this series, the 6th book in the series is no exception. This novel feels like the first two in the series for me, action-packed, with no lulls or parts I felt the need to skim over. In the last few reviews, I commented on how the tv series and book series start to differ more as they go on; while that remains true, some major scenes in this novel have already happened in season 5 of the television show. I have officially read past the number of tv seasons that have been produced. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and watch season six (currently filming) of Outlander!
