If by this point you haven't heard of Outlander, you've been living under a rock. I'm not going to add anything meaningful in my review here that hasn't been said before.

I really enjoyed this! I listened to it as an audiobook and the parts that would've probably been tedious in book form still worked well that way. I'm up to season 5? 6? now and I really just wanted to go back to the Claire and Jamie of season 1 for some time <3

I took multiple breaks and listened to whole other audiobooks during this and I think that's how I didn't end up hating it 🙈 It is very long (obviously) but it is also very good. The writing is excellent and Claire is such a good main character.

Would recommend, even if you've already watched the series :) I still enjoyed it a lot

I didn’t dislike this book but at 800+ pages and as crazy as some people are over it, I didn’t love it as much as I expected to. The characters are great and the writing is good. I found Claire’s angstiness irritating at times. There was also too much spice for me. At times it was like, here we go again. Also the amount of attempted SAs. I think of Claire alone there were 6-7. I found the last part of the book difficult to read and finish. I won’t give spoilers but it was detailed and gruesome. I will likely give the second book a shot but if they are all like this, I don’t know that I’ll finish the series, which is a shame but I want more plot and outside the bedroom action in 800 or more pages.

What an adventure! This one took me nearly a month to finish because of the 1700s setting and the density of the writing, but I'm glad I did so. Jamie and Claire are just dreamy.
