I very much love JAMMF & LJG so getting a book that explains their relationship was wonderful. This is a must for anyone reading the Outlander or Lord John Grey series. ♡“Queen's knight," he said quietly. "To queen two." It was, he knew, a dangerous opening.” The story has not been told of exactly h...

Reading the last page of this one was kind of bittersweet. Not just because of the ending itself, but that this is the last book of this series. I've read most of the Outlander books already and reading this series has made me want to read them again. I have already planned on re-starting a few...

I just wasn't into The Scottish Prisoner as the rest of the Lord John Grey books. In fact, I thought that this installment focused more on Jamie rather than Lord John, which made me somewhat confused as this is a Lord John series book.The ending of The Scottish Prisoner aligns near the time Jamie le...

Audio Comments at the EndAs much as I love Lord John, I plowed through his series for this book. This is John and Jamie's book, as much as John and Jamie will ever have a book of their own, and it shows how their relationship begins to evolve into the loyal friendship they have throughout the later ...

Ah, Jamie. I know this is a Lord John book, but Jamie made it all that much better. I like Lord John, and I love how he's always trying to find the best outcome for everyone involved. It's the same in this story. I loved how he finally figured out Jamie's reason for returning to Helwater after being...

3rd read: Feb 2013OK, so I'm just a sucker for Jamie Fraser... and any book that he's in.2nd read: Feb 2012Just gets better! Not much to add this time through, except that I appreciated the nuances of this book so much more. I was, however, dismayed to realize that the name Tobias Quinn never darken...

The last time Lord John Grey and Jamie Fraser saw each other they parted after a heated fight during which things were said that can’t be easily forgiven or forgotten. Since then Jamie has been working as a groom on the Helwater estate. While he is no longer a prisoner, he’s not a free man either si...

I'm torn on this rating. In actuality I would give it a 3.5.The book is split between 2 narratives: Lord John Grey and Jamie Fraser. For John's portion of the book, I would rate it a 3, but for Jamie's I would rate it a 4. Reason being, I don't find Lord John an interesting character in the least. I...

When I started this book, I quickly became annoyed at the Scottishisms in the writing - not in the dialogue, but the way they cropped up in the descriptive text. They felt rare and out of place and smacked of shouting "look at me! I've done my research!"Eventually, I stopped noticing them. But there...
