In this fifth book of the Outlander serie, we follow Jamie, Claire, Brianna and Roger through their adventures in America in the 1770s. As the American revolution is slowly taking it's pace, Jamie must decide what to do and how to protect his family and his land from the destruction coming up. Will he battle along the English or with his fellow neighbors against it? Roger and Brianna must also face a harsh decision about whether they should stay in the 1700s or go back with young Jemmy to their own era. 
 This book was very long and filled with descriptions and day to day activities. I must say that I liked that. It was less action-packed but made me understand so much more about how people lived in these years and how life was so different from now. Roger and Briana make it plain that their lifestyle is so different and how they are missing things as simple are toilet paper. The Fiery Cross also shows how courage comes in diverse variations : plain battlefield courage, quiet inner courage, the courage of letting go what is out of reach, etc which I think is marvelous. 
 The length of this brick is probably the thing that annoyed me the most. It took me almost 2 months to get through this book!!! But as I said, each and every detail is important in this story. Also, at points, I grew mixed up between the different characters of the story. When X was talked about for a few lines on page 100 and then comes back on page 1000 as an important character, I'm like: Who the f*** are you? Then I remember. It's a bit of a pain. 
 Can't wait to read the next book in the serie!
