I was very happy to be immersed in the Outlander world again.
A solid 4 stars for the whole book, plus 0.25 stars for the last ~100 pages that got me real excited about it again.
The detail in these books is a double-edged sword, it is both glorious and also makes reading them a little bit of a slog sometimes. (Which is why it took me over a month to read this one, plus the minor detail of too many work hours and a holiday season…)
Am I happy I pushed through and read the whole series (so far)? 100% yes. Am I glad to be moving onto something different for a bit? Also a resounding yes.
And still … Jamie + Claire 4eva ❤️

Barely anything happens. It ends on a cliffhanger. As per usual, a lot of set up for the next book. There isn’t a lot of character development. It’s just….meditations on daily life in the late 1700s, which is interesting but for 900 pages I need a more developed plot rather than a whole bunch of barely related storylines- some of which I don’t know at all why they even exist. I have been reading pretty much only this series since August, books 2-9 and I am so very relieved that I’m done.
This book could have been a peaceful end- cover a longer period of time with less unnecessary fluff, end with peace in the colonies and peace on Fraser’s Ridge after the war. No need to drag it out until the character’s dying days. Jamie and Claire are old. We all know they’re old. They’re going to die. Why do we need a tenth book to get to that point?
It seems like she’s setting it up for another spin off series about William.

THE END THO I THINK MY DREAM IS ABOUT TO COME TRUE IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!
This book took me a long time to get through. It has a plodding pace as far as action is concerned. This book is more character-driven - best for people who are already invested in the characters. And, in case you are wondering, the story ending sets up a sequel.
