I was enjoying this book very much for the first half, but it lost me in the second. The rapes, the wife beating, the villian suddenly being gay,..these things just didn’t work for me. Maybe I’m just reading this with current sensibilities but I don’t think they were handled well. 

Also, it’s funny that the author insists that this isn’t a romance, since it could have been about 100 pages shorter if she cut out some of the sex scenes. I enjoy romance, but some of it just felt gratuitous.

1. The narrator of this MAKES the story worth it. She’s incredibly talented
2. This book is VERY graphic at times and very traumatizing as well so be warned. I was audibly gasping and very uncomfortable many times.
3. There is toooooo much pretty imagery and description which is why this is 32ish hours long. Definitely could have been shorter. There’s also new plot line after new plot line introduced which I feel that it crammed a lot into one book.
4.  The ending just is kinda like “yay we love each other”. I was looking at the minutes left like this is it?? Such a mild ending to a GIANT book. 
Overall it’s not bad. It’s not amazing in my opinion, but I did enjoy Claire, Jaime, and many of the other side characters. I also really enjoyed the setting and historical pieces. But the graphic parts, some of the crazy plot lines, and the ending brought it down for me.
