Certainly problematic at times. If you're after sex and enchantment, stick to the TV show. If you want never ending conflict, and character backstory - the book is good. The narrator is incredible. This story will always hold a place in my heart, so perhaps I'm being a little biased in my rating.

The medical scenes aren't as detailed or as gory as the TV show. The sexual assault between a captor and prisoner descriptions are more graphic.

4.5

This would be a 5 star read if it weren’t for the homophobia by the author and some of the other things that were more common in romance books written around the same time as this (originally published in ‘91 I think). Two men in the book are supposedly gay. One is a pedophile/rapist and barely has a part in the book, and the other is a torturer/rapist and does have a bigger part in the book.

What an adventure! This one took me nearly a month to finish because of the 1700s setting and the density of the writing, but I'm glad I did so. Jamie and Claire are just dreamy.
