3.0

Competent writing, good researching but too bloody long! And I still hate her pacing in the last hundred pages. I did appreciate that I could hear Hamilton playing in my head but Claire is still supercilious and able to fix everything ven in the eighteenth century and I don’t get bri and roger’s timeline. We didn’t need William at all and the same stuff keeps happening to Claire and Jamie! They’re walking targets and at some point, that doesn’t happen as often as it does to them. It’s just overly done and I skimmed a solid half of this book because it was extraneous.
