cehawes1998 's review for:

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
3.0

The premise of this book seemed so interesting, and I’ve heard plenty about it and decided to give it a try. I liked that it went to Scotland, as I feel like so many period dramas focus on the same region and I have never seen anything focus on this population.
I found Claire to be interesting, sometimes a little cheesy. It bothered me that after she got thrown in time and into Jaime she rarely mentioned her husband. I feel like there would be more feelings about that. Also, she only spoke about the lack of medical supplies, but NOTHING else that changed by being thrown back In time. Technology, bathrooms etc. I would surely miss those!!

The plot twists were pretty good, and kept the book entertaining as it is long. The end definitely got dark, which was sad but I think made the book more interesting than it would have been without. That’s where the best writing was.

I will likely read the next book, but not sure if I will stay through the whole series.
