This is the first in a series, and it’s a commitment (time wise). It’s worth it! Time travel, fantasy, history, love and romance, torture and death. Riveting!

I can see why this is a highly rated book, it’s beautifully written and descriptive. However, to much sex for my liking. That’s just me. I’m not a fan of spicy romances.

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
