Thrilled to have the three previously released short stories from other disparate anthologies *and* the additional new story wrapping it up."A Leaf on All Hallow's" is even more poignant the second time."The Space in Between" is heart-breakingly gorgeous.I am a huge fan of The Outlander series. It is currently my top rated series I have ever read (with Harry Potter a very close second). Diana Gabaldon refers to the Outlander series as BEB's - Big Enormous Books - which they are. A Trail of Fire, Four Outlander Tales is a "Buldge", stories that take place between and are interwoven and connect to BEB's. Given that fans have been waiting for MOBE (MOBY) for close to 2 years now, many of us covet any stories we can get about Jamie & Claire. I
4 short stories - Enjoyed the two that were 'bulges' from the Cross Stitch storyline - particularly the one on Roger's parents. Hate how she promotes her Lord John stories as offshoots from Cross Stitch - they are written completely differently and i don't enjoy them at all.
Love me some bulges!! Wish a few of them would show up as full-fledged books someday ... all of the stories were worth the time to read them. This girlie is sure prolific!
My hardback copy of this issue ISBN 978 1 4091 4447 2 I ordered from the UK, and, although I had only read one of the short stories, I still Love this book. What a great way to get an idea for a new book, just follow a different friend or family member, and see what they are up to? Did I say I loved it? I am so glad Diana got the copy rights back so that I could have four of her "short stories" in one place. "A leaf on the wind of all Hallows" was so good, and so was "The space Between" and
Diana Gabaldon's Outlander world is so big and the characters so numerous that, since time isn't really an obstacle either, there are pockets of untold stories all over the place. She could write in this world for a very long time.I had already read 3 of the 4 novellas in other collections. Both of the Lord John novellas were quite good, as well as A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows (although that title always makes me think of the movie Serenity-oh, Wash).The Space Between was my least favorite.
