yes, I am still reading these books. I LOVE TO SUFFER.
I am so invested in these books! The characters! The big obituary date mystery has now passed, and I guess I can breathe a sigh of relief. At least until the next HORRIFIC TRAGEDY happens to the Frasers.
This book seemed to clip along at a much faster pace than TFC, and I think it's been my favorite since Voyager. However, this one holds some of the most brutal scenes, and honestly, DG's constant need to have the Frasers captured, abused, and/or accused of heinous crimes they didn't commit is getting tiring. I will read anything about these two, so give them peace. Give me more of Claire cuddling her cat.
I'm really curious (like REALLY curious) to see how they will adapt this for the show. There are a LOT of moving parts, and considering that there are seemingly endless side characters on and off the Ridge in the books and not that many in the show, how will they factor in the Christie drama? It's major. Also the siege of the Big House infuriated me. Leave Claire alone!!!!!
Anyways, on to Scotland thank God. Also would not recommend reading Epilogue I at 4 am for your emotional wellness.

I still love this series. The only thing that spoiled it a little for me is that I watched the last season of Outlander not realizing how much of this book would be covered. I had expectations of events that weren't quite right. Lesson learned, time to try to sprint through the next couple books before I watch the next season!
I'm so emotional. I have grown to love this series so much and care for the characters more than I can explain. Especially Bree & Roger AND OH MY GOSH THEIR STORYLINES. I did NOT see it coming. I cannot deal. Goodbye.
I think I hate this series, I would never recommend it to anyone, but I read the whole damn thing and I enjoyed every single minute (except for the parts I hated). But it's a pandemic, y'know?

Book 6 of the Outlander saga was just as enthralling as its predecessors- I was constantly on my toes, whipping to the next page with eagerness. Jamie and Claire’s story really is centered around the two of them, but this novel reminds us how intertwined the life and fate of others are to our heroes. New lands meet old enemies, where we celebrate birth yet walk hand-in-hand with death.
You won’t be able to read it fast enough, that’s for sure!

This book ended with punch after punch of revelations, unlike the other books in the series, and I'm still a little...dazed, I guess, trying to sort some things out that came out as a surprise at the end. I was frustrated with the story at times, but overall, I enjoyed the book. Some characters got the retribution they deserved, and that made for some satisfying reading. Mainly, as long as Claire and Jamie stay together, I'm happy, ha -- although they are forever and always balancing on the tightrope, which always keeps me on the tip of my toes, if you will, while I'm reading.
Really enjoyed it! Back to the quality of the first part of the series, not like #5, which I didn't like at all. Looking forward to reading on.
3.5 really because Gabaldon gets so carried away while writing that it becomes too prolonged and 70% of it doesn't contribute to the plot that it gets on my nerves
