beckcatbooks's review against another edition

4.5

This is one of the stronger books in the series, but still could have done with wayyyyyy less of the subplots. But the Jamie & Claire stuff was GOOD, and it was so lovely to see them with many of their kids and grandkids. I didn't even mind the Brianna & Roger & kids arc. The return to home at the end of the book for all of these characters was just 🥹🥹🥹. Now let my babies REST.

A bit slow at the end, but overall this is probably my favorite Outlander book so far.
