A review by reading_raina
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.
The premise is interesting but it only gets you so far. I really can’t stand Claire and every decision she makes is frustrating and confusing. The setting of Scottish Highlands is what drew me in, but the mundane scenes in the castle and the tyrannical Jack Randall took away any enjoyment I experienced. 

You can have a historical drama/romance/period piece and not have themes of sexual assault. Stop writing this shit. It’s dehumanizing and books (and tv shows) like this perpetuate sexual violence in media.
