I had complicated feelings about Outlander but I decided to continue reading the series. I enjoyed Dragonfly in Amber more because of the plot. However, just like in the first book, there are these scenes that make me question if I want to continue. I'm not saying violence or gore shouldn't be present in books, but in these cases, a lot of it seems gratuitous and unnecessary to the plot.
I know this is an unpopular opinion but I don't understand the love of Jamie. Whenever I start liking him, he does something horrible to Claire. Most of the time it is in jest, but there have been times in the series so far when it wasn't. There are moments when Jamie is swoon worthy but he is a flawed character for sure.
I fully intended to take a break from the series next month but Dragonfly in Amber ended so well, I'm going to need Voyager soon!
