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.

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.

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!!!!
