I didn’t dislike this book but at 800+ pages and as crazy as some people are over it, I didn’t love it as much as I expected to. The characters are great and the writing is good. I found Claire’s angstiness irritating at times. There was also too much spice for me. At times it was like, here we go again. Also the amount of attempted SAs. I think of Claire alone there were 6-7. I found the last part of the book difficult to read and finish. I won’t give spoilers but it was detailed and gruesome. I will likely give the second book a shot but if they are all like this, I don’t know that I’ll finish the series, which is a shame but I want more plot and outside the bedroom action in 800 or more pages.

There are flaws that are valid. I just loved this book so much that I’m willing to move past those flaws and focus on the parts that I really enjoyed. The characters falling in love, the politics of confusing colonial Scotland times, the small side quests the characters found themselves in because it was just a part of daily life.
