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.

4.0

Great story, but the age of this book really shows in the continuously "playfully (and sometimes not-so-playfully) racist" descriptions of a secondary character, and lazy writing of another character who has gotten fat since the previous books, which is used as a negative character trait. The TV series did a pretty good job of leaving the weirdness out while keeping most of the story in place, though.

The Outlander series is simply AMAZING. I have read the entire series through multiple times. Reading the book description, it wouldn't normally be something I chose, but im so glad I did! Now I am a FOREVER FAN. If you love to read, you need to give the series a chance...you will fall in love with the Fraser Clan!!!!
