As with all Outlander books, it's exceptionally long, has tons of historical moments that can be hard to keep track of, and is almost entirely character-focused (even when it's dealing with the plot, it feels like the story is only being moved by the characters rather than the other way around). But if you've been around for the last 8, there's no reason not to dig through this one as well.
I did hit a wall with reading it about halfway through because it was just moving so slowly, but the second half really picks up the pace and the action and, of course, in true Gabaldon fashion, teases the scene you've been waiting for for the whole book.
Content warnings abound! To the point that it's actually very hard to keep track of them all so just proceed with caution.
