This book would of gotten a higher rating if it wasn't for all the slurs, I get it, it's based in the past but that doesn't mean I wanna read 9 different slurs withing 10 pages.

louise2000's review

slow-paced

1.0

This book does not deserve my energy in writing a review but here are some thoughts I had while reading:

• The racist stereotypes
• The rape
• Even when they’re technically consenting, the age gaps in relationships. They are not okay
• The fatphobia 
• I don’t want to have to reread the book to find evidence but I feel like Jamie definitely lied to Claire about not having remarried or had children. And after Laogharie? he definitely should have brought up his son. 
• Gabaldon just needs an editor.
