⭐⭐ ⭐️ ⭐️ (rounded up from 3.75)
I was really excited to continue the Outlander series, but Dragonfly in Amber started off in a surprisingly jarring place. Even though I had just finished the first book, I ended up going back to reread the ending of Outlander because the shift in timeline and perspective left me feeling like I’d missed something.
Once I got past that initial bump, though, I really enjoyed the story. This installment leans more into political intrigue, which added some compelling twists, even if the pacing felt a bit more meandering at times.
That ending is a true humdinger of a cliffhanger and absolutely guarantees I’ll be picking up the next book in the series.
