So having just read the reviews for this it’s seems that it’s not liked. Did I overlook things because I generally enjoyed this story? Probably. Was the Taylor Swift reference a little odd for a Scottish time travel novel? Sure. I don’t know a lot about Scottish history or anything Celtic so I can’t speak about historical accuracy. Because of this I won’t even claim it was. I saw people say this was just Outlander fan fiction. I’ve read the first three Outlander books and it didn’t feel that way to me.  The only similarity was Scottish time travel. Though I can see why they may think that since she does thank the actor who plays the male lead in the television adaptation in the acknowledgements in the back of the book. 

I genuinely enjoyed this story. It’s well paced and is entertaining.   I’m looking forward to the next book. Does this mean I just have terrible taste in some of the books I read? Probably. That’s my choice though.
