Review

Written in My Own Heart's Blood: Outlander, Book 8 by Diana Gabaldon like the earlier novels of the series takes the story forward. The author through her tight narrative and vivid representations weaves an imagery for the readers. The readers can visualize the characters and the story unfolding before them. The readers are taken into a journey depicting the perspectives and motivation of the central characters. The romance between Jamie and Claire is yet again the centerpiece of the novel and it helps bind the story together.

The author has also put in considerable amount of research for presenting the facts before the readers. The readers will be able to relate to the characters and the plot. Though the editing could have been tighter to make the story more compact and gripping. Overall, it is a must-read for the fans of the Outlander series and will have them craving for more.
