All by Diana Gabaldon who has a great home page: www.dianagabaldon.com
Dragonfly in Amber: Second in the series - I found it a little awkward at first. I think Gabaldon might have had trouble understanding how to write this "first" second book in a series and felt that she had to repeat a lot of things. It's a segue book, but what a great tale - it's very necessary to the series.
Voyager: Awesome -probably one of my favorite books in the series - don't want to give too much away, but I literally had dreams about this book while I was reading it.
Drums of Autumn - This one was good, not as good as Voyager. Perhaps that was the problem. I did really enjoy the "new" characters and I could see that she was turning, by necessity, in a new direction to keep the series moving.
The Fiery Cross - An enjoyable book - I really love all of the bits about America in the beginning. This book might have been my least favorite though - I read it because I'm in love with all of the characters.
A Breath of Snow and Ashes - I think this could have been one of the final ones. I'm surprised she's written another, but I'm sure the publisher can't let this go. It was very enjoyable - I remember it fondly, but, just not the spark as the first 3-4. How can you sustain something like this? I'm not sure it's possible. I'd like to see a new book from her with new characters. She could even re-hash the time-travel. Gabaldon's a fantastic storyteller - I can't wait to read new things by her!
