3.0
Gabaldon is a very good writer and I truly enjoyed the historical fantasy part of this. Not sure if I'd read the rest of the series after that infamous dungeon scene tho. Definitely read and heed the warnings on this one.

- Why so much sex?

Spoiler
The first point connects to the second: I had a problem with Jamie, he had a few good lines and while I understand that the time was different then, I just can't agree with some things he did, because he really doesn't give her a proper choice. And the beating, no, I could not really forgive him for that even though Claire did.-
Spoiler
Why did Claire have to cry so much and always had to be held in Jamie's arms to calm down?-
Spoiler
The ending. I knew she would have a baby but still. Maybe it's just personal preference but I don't like the Pregnancy trope.Graphic: Physical abuse, Sexual assault, Body horror, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Injury/Injury detail, Kidnapping, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Torture, Violence, Vomit, Misogyny, Sexism, Cursing, Pregnancy, Sexual harassment, Suicidal thoughts, Medical content, Medical trauma, and Murder
