Into the Wilderness by Sara Donati
4.0

This is a very good story that kept me engaged from start to finish. As far as it being equal to the Outlander series I'll just say I see how some think it's similar, but I put Outlander out of my mind as I read so I could appreciate the story for 'its' story. The story was well written and edited (which means a LOT to me.)

There were a couple places where the story-line seemed to fade and lose direction and in those places the author interjects awkward babble that left me scratching my head wondering "where are we going?" I label this kind of dribble as filler to make the story longer - but this story didn't need any filler as it was huge.

I didn't like Elizabeth for most the story. I thought she was petty, impetuous and immature for being 29.

The only other aspect of this story that became fingernails on a chalkboard or a festering splinter that won't come out and that was the nickname the author chose for Elizabeth - Boots? What??? This is a romance and you can't imagine any other nickname that would conjure romance outside Boots?
