I really enjoy the Outlander series. But this book was truly terrible. While some interesting and exciting things happened, I don't feel that this installment in the series moved the plot along. Considering that this book is almost 1,000 pages, it should have progressed more. I still can't really say exactly what this book was about. It seemed like a bunch of smaller stories wrapped into one. Basically, if the first book in the series had been written this way, I would not have continued with the series. I forced myself to finish this book because at this point I'm invested in the characters and stories.
