This book didn’t have the same kind of cohesive main plot thread in the way previous books did, but almost felt like a collection of anecdotes and stories from their life in the colonies. While the structure was a little different, I found it still very enjoyable. My favorite moments in these books are the little hilarious moments and the silly, non life threatening problems they navigate, and the insightful and philosophical conversations they have, especially Claire & Jamie. I think it felt like a relief after the very tumultuous drama of books 3 & 4. I want to say this book is more “peaceful” but at the same time what I would call one of the top 5 most horrible things that’s happened to a character in this series happened in this book, so do with that what you will lol. Somehow Claire and Jamie’s relationship continues to be the most interesting relationship in every book and I never get tired of their poignant yet hilarious conversations.

Iconic moments include Jamie scheming to get the babies baptized when the priest gets arrested and Jamie asking Claire to give his sperm “a decent burial” after showing them to him under her microscope lmao
