I really enjoyed this! I listened to it as an audiobook and the parts that would've probably been tedious in book form still worked well that way. I'm up to season 5? 6? now and I really just wanted to go back to the Claire and Jamie of season 1 for some time <3
I took multiple breaks and listened to whole other audiobooks during this and I think that's how I didn't end up hating it 🙈 It is very long (obviously) but it is also very good. The writing is excellent and Claire is such a good main character.
Would recommend, even if you've already watched the series :) I still enjoyed it a lot

The development of the love between Claire and Jamie is so touching and is a huge part of the story. There is constant twists and turns that made sure I didn’t want to put the book down. I also loved the historical references that Diana Gabeldon has put a lot of time into researching about. She has created a brilliant depiction of 18th century Scottish Highlands. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

As always it’s a favorite and I love listening to Davina narrate.
I think at nearly 35 years old it should be reading modern classic status as boy does it stand the test of time!
