I really enjoyed this! I listened to it as an audiobook and the parts that would've probably been tedious in book form still worked well that way. I'm up to season 5? 6? now and I really just wanted to go back to the Claire and Jamie of season 1 for some time <3
I took multiple breaks and listened to whole other audiobooks during this and I think that's how I didn't end up hating it 🙈 It is very long (obviously) but it is also very good. The writing is excellent and Claire is such a good main character.
Would recommend, even if you've already watched the series :) I still enjoyed it a lot

The development of the love between Claire and Jamie is so touching and is a huge part of the story. There is constant twists and turns that made sure I didn’t want to put the book down. I also loved the historical references that Diana Gabeldon has put a lot of time into researching about. She has created a brilliant depiction of 18th century Scottish Highlands. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

Read this book before right after season one of the show came out and was disappointed it wasn't like the show. But now that I'm a bit more of a mature reader I really liked this book, it definitely got me out of a funk and now I'm excited to read the rest of the series. Definitely got me into historical fiction too.
