Not my favorite Outlander universe story. Interesting characters, but the story is too short to really get to know any of them. Didn’t love the ending. I think Minnie deserved better.

Interesting title, though I am not sure how it relates back. There was an authors note about a character I had never heard of, though I think this one is too removed from the main story line for me to recall. Maybe they only appear in the books, which I have never read. I did appreciate the strong line of feminism that went throughout the book from the main character.

I am reading the Outlander books in number order (chronological?) so I read this book between Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager. I suspect that the order that I am reading these books in has an impact on my enjoyment because I didn't really know who the characters in this book were which meant that I wasn't really invested in their story. The story itself was fine but I don't think it stands in its own right, you definitely need to have some insight into who these characters are to take something away from it.

This is my favorite of the Outlander spin-off novellas. Minnie and Hal are not major characters in the main series, but their backstory here is so good! I like Hal in this story nearly as much as I like John, and that's saying a lot since John is one of my most favorite characters from the entire series. :)
