Jamie Fraser knows from his time-traveling wife Claire that, no matter how unlikely it seems, America will win the Revolutionary War. But that truth offers little solace, since Jamie realizes he might find himself pointing a weapon directly at his own son - a young officer in the British army. And Jamie isn't the only one with a tormented soul - for Claire may know who wins the conflict, but she certainly doesn't know whether or not her beloved Jamie survives.

A Breath of Snow and Ashes continues the saga of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century, time-traveling wife, Claire. The year is 1772, and the rift between Britain and its American colonies has put a frightening word into the minds of all concerned: revolution. In the backwoods of North Carolina, violence has already reared its ugly head, as cabins have been burned to the ground. To preserve the colony for King George III, the governor pleads with Jamie to bring the people together and restore peace. But Jamie has the burden of knowing that war cannot be avoided.

New insights on beloved characters
Being an avid Diana Gabaldon's novels reader/audio book listener, these books gave amazing insights and new light to non main characters that just add fluff and more in depth imaginations to the Outlander stories. As with the main books, these novellas are well written, descriptive and captivating - informative and fun to read/listen to. I now find myself wanting for more ! I had so far only enjoyed Davina Porter's lovely renderings of the beloved characters - listening to Robert, Allan and Jeff have put into mind a different perspective on the lesser known but much loved, side characters. Thank you all for your amazing performances 🎭 Highly recommended 👌

Two new works and five previously published
Would you consider the audio edition of Seven Stones to Stand or Fall to be better than the print version?
Yes and no. Having not seen the print version, I can assume by what I listened to, that there are instances where seeing the print edition would be more helpful. One instance is a list of someone's diary entries - where seeing it as we would "normally" would probably allow the reader to grasp the information more easily. However, I enjoy the audio versions immensely. The voice actors are terrific at characterizations, and little things like hearing a fight, and the audible gasps, huffing, out of breath pauses certainly make the audio book quite enjoyable.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Seven Stones to Stand or Fall?
Getting to know Minnie. The story of her travels to London and what ensues is entirely new material and much about a character that I've always wanted to know better.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. And there's a critical review of this audiobook that disparages the "woman with a raspy voice". Well, that's the author herself, and while Diana is not a professional voice actor, having her acerbic wit in the material she reads is very enjoyable.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Can't imagine this book in film as a stand alone. The stories enhance the Outlander universe.
Any additional comments?
Audible doesn't label its chapters. An annoying habit. I suggest the following bookmarks Labels for the readers' and listeners' convenience:
Chapter 1 Intro to book
Chapter 2 Custom of the Army
Chapter 6 A Space Within
Chapter 11 A Plague of Zombies
Chapter 15 A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows
Chapter 17 Virgins
Chapter 22 A Fugitive Green
Chapter 40 Besieged.

Divide the 7 books logically.
This is seven books. Well written and read excellently but if you want to read a specific book rather than simply first to last, it is very hard to find the location. Chapters 2-5 are Custom of the Army. Chapters 6-10 are The Space Between. Chapters 11-14 are A Plague of Zombies. Chapters 15-16 are A Leaf on the Wind of all Hollows. Chapters 17-21 are Virgins. Chapters 22-39 are A Fugitive Green. And chapter 40 behind Besieged. This information could have been included in book details and saved me a lot of trouble.

Necessary if you 're a fan of both
If you're a fan of both the Lord John and Outlander series then these novellas are necessary to round out those storylines. However, if you're NOT a fan of the Lord John series, I don't think you'll enjoy this collection very much.

Diana, Davina & Jeff have done it again!!!
First things first, this is NOT one of the "Big Books" of the Outlander series. This is a compilation of seven (7) short stories/novellas that are extensions of certain characters in the main series.
Having said that, for hardcore Outlander fans this contains only three (3) previously unpublished pieces. However, it is nice to have these seven pieces in one single package as the previously published pieces were only available by gathering multiple anthologies.
This audio book has narrations of introductions by the author herself. This makes it feel as if she is speaking to you directly about her work.
As the description shows the many names of narrators you will see that not all of the stories are narrated by the same person. But you just cannot miss with Davina Porter. She has been narrating the "Big Books" since the beginning and continues to be the best narrator I've ever listened to who portrays people of both genders without it sounding like the same person speaking.
Jeff Woodman has become the quintessential "Lord John Grey" for me! His ability to portray the character's adventures and emotions while making him a unique vocal character from all the others just mesmerizes me.
I can't recommend this book enough!!

beware SPOILERS at the beginning!!!
I'm sure I will thoroughly enjoy this book (as I have all other things Outlander) and have therefore filled in the star-max provisionally (I'll change them later if I'm adversely surprised) but I wanted to warn my fellow spoiler-haters right away that at the beginning, Diana Gabaldon herself (whom I normally enjoy listening to) is included giving a synopsis of every book and short story in the Outlander universe. I've read most everything but missed a few, so now--sigh...........--I have spoilers for the ones I've inadvertently missed. So if you've missed anything and hate spoilers as much as I do, skip over those first couple of bits and just figure out where the novellas themselves begin. Sorry, guys, bad practice to put that at the beginning!!!

A potboiler
There are occasional passages that show Diana Gabaldon's skill as a writer, but not enough to lift this mish-mash higher than 2 stars. Don't expect the writer of the Outlander Series, who is very good indeed, to show up often. The performances are first rate.
