A review by bookilotty
Written in My Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon

5.0

An Outlander novel that held me firmly in its grasp all month. The 7th book left some cliffhangers so we dove straight back in to find out what happened which was slightly jarring at first as I left 3 years between the books. But I soon remembered who/what was going on and the stakes were high. 

Some time travelling curveballs were thrown and I absolutely lost my mind over it. Characters that I had grieved long ago in the series were suddenly thrust back into the mix and it was incredible! My heart hurt a lot.

The American Revolution was a bit lost on me tbh, but I tried not to get caught up in the details I didn't understand, and just followed the story of the characters. William and Lord John have definitely grown on me.

There's a couple of devastating tragedies in this book too which hurt big time. 

The ending was beautiful and felt like it could easily be the end of the series, even though it still left me desperate to dive straight into the next book, because we always want more.

I've had a great month reading this and so glad I didn't rush it.
