Incredible how the book just unabashedly glorifies rape culture. Yuck!

Some interesting  moments, very immersive and insightfu  historical details throughout but very, very long and extremely dark/explicit at points.

missrissa89's review against another edition

I watched the series, so I thought I’d read the books. I got almost halfway through this and just cannot stand the sexual violence. 
She gets assaulted many times, even by her husband. 
I googled “does the sexual assault in the outlander books end” and found a Reddit thread saying there’s more scenes in the books than in the shows, so I’m out!

possibly a little (unintentionally?) homophobic at times (though, it was written in the 90s). but, beautiful writing and world building. dont remember the last time i read a 800+ page book and that quickly
