A Breath of Snow and Ashes


So I recently finish A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon. If you know her work it's a romance novel written for the non-romantic reader. A Breath of Snow and Ashes is the sixth book in her series with the main characters of Claire and Jamie Fraser. For anyone who has read her books, what is not to love about her character Jamie. He's strong and senstive and so much more. Diana seems to have an ability to capture the emotions, strengths and weaknesses of characters with ease. The characters ebb and flow from the stories like one would imagine in a movie. The images are vivid and send directly to the time. You walk away from the stories, touched effected and moved.

Her latest is worth the read, I enjoyed it immensely, enough so that it didn't feel like I was reading a 1000 page book. Truth be told, I was looking forward to much lunch breaks and my commute so I could sit down and read for a while.

If you haven't taken the time to read any of her books it just might be time to think about it now.
'til next time...
