Query: In a word, BORING.

I waited with eager anticipation the arrival of this book on the day of its release, like I've waited for no book previously. I couldn't wait to dig in. After reading Outlander, which could arguably be the best book I've ever read (and I've read tons), then the other 3 which were great in their own right, I had expected nothing short of greatness from The Fiery Cross. Boy, was I sorely disappointed. Was there an editor reviewing this tomb? I really can't believe it was published. It took me 6 weeks to plow thru the 979 pages and until the end I was still waiting for a plot. It had a ton of mini subplots but put together all you get is day-to-day life on Fraser's Ridge. Where's the adventure, the romance, the growth of characterization? I'm giving this 2 stars because it was good to be among the Fraser's & MacKenzie's again, and because Diana is still a creative writer.
