3.0

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

This book is a good, overall read but I found it very long and dragged out at a few points. Although I did enjoy the many adjoining plots this book provides, the scenes at times are very graphic.

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.

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 !
