This has potential but the last 100 pages were just... A Choice...

like how she got Jamie out of his trauma 'funk' and then only realising that because she knows the future for the time, she has a duty or maybe not to do something??? Just came out of nowhere.

i also found the writing at times to be dense and a slog to get through all of the descriptions and another thing

so much sexual harassment? Like did it have to be almost every male character?? Such an uncomfortable time

The premise of this is so unique and so so fun and engaging. The characters are a bit flat and sometimes do inexplicable things (not bc theyre in 1700s scotland) but overall it was extremely well paced, plotted, and executed. I was INVESTED. The characters are pretty well written and developed (sometimes) but it rly feels like ur in that time/place. At times it’s super dark but overall it feels like an exciting adventure (idk why cause things kinda sucked back then but still). The end is rly dark but not nearly as bad as the show.

This is wonderful.
Everything about this is extraordinary: the characters, the plot, the writing, the pacing, the atmosphere and ambiance...
Diana Gabaldon wrote a masrerpiece and I adore her for it.
(However, having watched the Starz series and now read the 1st book, I will not recommend it to anyone because I know it is not a book and a story for everyone)
I am very excited to read the rest of the series and dive even deeper in the Outlander Universe !
