- 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 fatphobia 😩 (p. 253, 262, 268, 670)
The fatphobia on page 670 in particular has stayed with me since I first read this as a teenager. The concept that the best advice a mother could ever give her daughter is “don’t get fat” is so completely horrendous. Bad mothering. Bad writing.
Rape myth/ victim blaming p. 256
Terrible racism on p. 268 that’s written as if Claire is meant to look better in comparison, even though she doesn’t actually call it out???
Chapter 20 reeks of a white person writing a black character and has even more fatphobia!
I just got up to Mr Willoughby and now remember why last time I read this series I swore I’d never read them again. This is so overtly racist it is incredibly difficult to read. The character is a stereotyped caricature who is treated like a pet by Jamie.
Chapter 53 is awful and rough and so unnecessary. Huge TW for enslavement, racism, sexual assault, violence, death.
