This series as a whole was phenomenal. Despite the nature of most time travel Novels, there is an air of plausibility to Outlander that simply makes it irresistible, and as such you will find yourself unable to leave the book for any amount of time. The uncanny ability of the author to capture the historical elements of two different historical eras while weaving an undeniably strong love story, a search on the part of her characters to for their own passions and purpose in life, and a graphically real historical account or war, famine, strive and the like is beyond anything you as a reader can even begin to imagine. This is to say nothing of the beautiful language in which the author writes, the details to imagery that will leave you standing in fields of Heather while you sit a read. It is a simply phenomenal.
