This was an alright read. It was a quick read. I read Outlander a few years back, and now I need to read it again. I wanted to see the events before Jamie meeting Claire. I thought this was a good introduction to Jamie's character. I did find the story a bit boring at parts. Maybe it is because I love Jamie and Claire and their adventures in Outlander so much. I did like seeing the friendship between Jamie and Ian. The fact that they are both virgins, and they both were attracted to the same person. I cannot wait to read the series from rereading book 1 to end. I am looking forward to seeing what Diana Gabaldon has in store. Also, I cannot wait to see who she will write about next when Jamie and Claire's story is complete. Overall, an okay read.

This was an extremely quick read for me. Read 100 pages in one sitting and was looking forward to next 100. 30 pages later I’m looking at the first chapters of Outlander…. Not impressed Diana. I did enjoy Jamie and Ian as characters though and seeing them before the characters we know from Outlander!
