Despite all the trigger things that happen in the book it was great book ! 

Read this book before right after season one of the show came out and was disappointed it wasn't like the show. But now that I'm a bit more of a mature reader I really liked this book, it definitely got me out of a funk and now I'm excited to read the rest of the series. Definitely got me into historical fiction too.

okay wow - 800 pages of fantasy historical fiction sprinkled with some spice 🔥 def not for the faint of heart and plenty of morally grey / immoral areas of the book for sure, but overall Gabaldon does a fairly decent job representing this time period and makes a book exciting to read. I’ve seen the show and decided to read the books and even though I knew everything that was coming it was nice to see what the show DIDNT include, how they changed it, etc all the while, the book stayed interesting to me !

I liked this book at the start and was ready for some intrigue and internal conflict as our main character dealt with being a complete fish out of water, but we honestly didn't see much of that and what we did fell flat. To be fair to it, I think it may have been advertised to me as something it wasn't meant to be. There were some parts I liked, but the length and the parts that I didn't like made it a hard read.

The love interest does at one point physically beat the main character mostly off screen. This is forgiven and rationalized away.
