Oops, I shouldn't have said that. Do not take my advice! Here's what happened. I still had 100 pages left to read in Dragonfly when I got notification that Last Bus to Wisdom was in at the library so I needed to read that. I put Dragonfly aside until last night when I finally got back to it. NOW I see why she did that. Okay, makes sense. Now I cannot imagine what the next 6 books are going to be about but I guess I will find out soon enough. Hope I didn't confuse you here.

Ignore this = When you take up Dragonfly in Amber, skip the first few chapters. Start at Part Two which is page 87 in my paperback. I have no idea why Gabaldon thought it was a good idea to put that stuff in at the beginning of the second book. It was not something I wanted to know at this time and did spoil the rest of the book somewhat.

Maybe someone else will chip in here with their opinion. Maybe it will be important later. All I know is that I didn't need to know that, at this point. But I will still forage ahead with book 3. Scotland Forever!!
