The character of John is so vivid here, that I enjoyed this journey.THE STORY: In the mid 1700s, Lord John and his brother are both soldiers in the Seven Years' War. As their mother prepares to marry again, secrets from their father's death and questions of whether he was a Jacobite traitor arise again. Lord John looks into the matter and someone seems to be taunting the family and threatening Lord John int he process. At the same time, Lord John's new stepbrother is attracting Lord John's attention.OPINION: This book rests almost entirely on the character of Lord John. I enjoy reading of his life and how he deals with the complications of his family, his sexuality and just how he fits into the historical events of his time. He is a complex character. He has an unrequited love for Jamie Fraser, but he continues to live his life.This book is driven by the mystery surrounding Lord John's father's death and whether he was a Jacobite sympathizer. However, while that is the framing of the story, this book is also about relationship and family and the dangers and events that Lord John experiences in his historical time period.I enjoyed this book quite a bit and am more and more impressed with the historical depth of Gabaldon's books.WORTH MENTIONING: Jamie makes a couple small appearances here in a book that happens during the events of VOYAGER.CONNECTED BOOKS: LORD JOHN AND THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE BLADE is the second book in the Lord John Grey series which is a spinoff of her Outlander series. I don't know if people read these books apart from the Outlander books, but I think that this book assumes a reader already knows who these characters are so I would only recommend this series if a reader is familiar with the Outlander booksSTAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Bordering on literature *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021* Gabaldon is tremendously popular from her "Highlander" series and especially from the TV series that it has spawned. I have not read her before, having watched the shows and become acquainted with her in that way. She is a powerful writer perhaps crossing that invisible border from popular writer into literature, works for the ages. She puts the reader right into the story and keeps us there. She is detailed in her historically and very inciteful in her descriptions of human relations. I like to read historical works for a better understanding of a time and place that I will never be able to actually experience. Diana Gabaldon, a famous resident of my state of Arizona and of whom we are justly proud, does exactly that. With a title like 'Brothers of the Blade', I expected a rousing historical work of courage and carnage. It is set during the Seven Years War, a global conflict. But no. It is a murder mystery involving the high aristocracy of England. Quite good on that basis, but not what I expected. I also did not expect long passages of homoeroticism. Also quite well done, but again not what I expected. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2018* Lord John is one of the most interesting characters in the Outlander series and I am delighted Ms Gabaldon is giving him more time on the page. I enjoyed this book immensely. I believe it was an enlargement of a novella I had read in the past but it does better as a full length novel. We see John Grey as a soldier, a son, brother and a lover and he is admirable,grounded and honest in each role. I believe it would be a confusing read for anyone who had not previously read the Outlander series because Grey's feelings for James Fraser would not be as understandable without that back story. I also was very impressed with the author's strong convictions as to the essential decency and natural nature of homosexual love and lust. When Grey states he would not choose to become heterosexual if given the option, and clearly is very comfortable as a gay man, while also being a man or honor, of courage, a leader of men, and a good friend I was moved and educated. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/3731020-lord-john-and-the-brotherhood-of-the-blade-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/3731020-lord-john-and-the-brotherhood-of-the-blade-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
