Helpful Score: 3
I am utterly shocked that this book/series has such a high rating! It's the reason why I was suckered in.
Long story short (pun intended) if you enjoy long winded, well written romance novels with lovable, well written characters that you can't help but NOT care about, gratuitous sex, rape, brutality, 50 pages of boring everyday life filled with passionate 2 page sequences of intense wonderful drama and a book that you will PROBABLY only read half of because the other half is you skipping through the stuff that just shouldn't be there (it's so pointless) like seriously, there were almost 10 pages of Claire cleaning out her supply cabinets at one point.
Diana Gabaldon, you should try learning about SUBTEXT.
At first I thought this book was BORING, I understand setting the scene but COME ON and get to the point! After I skipped the first 10th of the book I fell in love with the setting and the characters, it was lovely, and then came that thrumming boring lull of a whole lot of nothing. I am almost surprised that the author didn't write about how many times claire went to the bathroom for as much nothing was mentioned in this book.
All in all, It's not horrible, it's a very well written book but it almost feels like an unfinished, unrefined product. Dissappointing.
