Sheโ€™s done it again, ladies & gents ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ 
I love every character, I loved every moment, and of course, she left us on a cliffhanger. 
Iโ€™m not sure how Iโ€™ll tide myself over until the next and โ€œfinalโ€ book!

I think Diana Gabaldon has an incredible way of bringing you back into a story, even if it's been a while since you've immersed yourself in it. I loved the effort spent on Lord John and William and the travels of Ian and his family. There was a lot more time spent with characters that I wasn't expecting to spend with, and I enjoyed that, which led to my 4-star rating.

As with all Outlander books, it's exceptionally long, has tons of historical moments that can be hard to keep track of, and is almost entirely character-focused (even when it's dealing with the plot, it feels like the story is only being moved by the characters rather than the other way around). But if you've been around for the last 8, there's no reason not to dig through this one as well.

I did hit a wall with reading it about halfway through because it was just moving so slowly, but the second half really picks up the pace and the action and, of course, in true Gabaldon fashion, teases the scene you've been waiting for for the whole book.

Content warnings abound! To the point that it's actually very hard to keep track of them all so just proceed with caution.
