from the moment I began reading this book until I finished it I was drawn into a magical world. I immediately became invested in all the characters. they became friends of mine in a distant time. thankfully I came upon this series when 4 books were already written. Ms. gabaldon takes a few years between books before they are published. her books are all lengthy (no fluff or padding here. the length Is justified) and she has to research each h book. I became unreachable for about a week as I read each book. I have happily re-read this series more than once, and eagerly await the release of the next title. I strongly recommend reading this series if you live stories of Scotland, time travel, romance and adventure. these books are not just one genre. Ms. gabaldon expertly wraps this series in many types of genres. many male friends have been just as excited about this series. (  ) txbritgal | Apr 6, 2021 |  3.5* While I enjoyed the historical aspects of this book, I felt like it was overall too drawn out. I wasn't entirely sure what the author was trying to achieve by having so many hardships one right after the other. I realize times were much more rough than what we are dealing with today, but there seemed little point to the numerous trials Jamie and Claire go through after having so many of them. Take out several of the smaller tribulations and the book would likely have been a little more concise, several hundred pages shorter, and been just as good. I won't be continuing in the series but may watch the TV series. (  ) courty4189 | Mar 24, 2021 | I wanted to read this after watching the new tv show. And the book is better (surprise, surprise). There are few things that bother me, but surprisingly few considering this highlander romance genre... I definitely want to read more. (  ) RankkaApina | Feb 22, 2021 | Well, I finished it... it was alright. I liked it as a fluffy, easy read that wasn't completely void of entertainment. But ultimately I have to admit that Claire and Jamie annoyed me more often than not and I just couldn't connect with them in any substantial way. Jonathan Randall felt a caricature of a villain, not nearly as nuanced as I like my "bad guys" to be. The plot kinda dragged along and when there was action, everything turned out ~just so~ with very little believable tragedy/peril except maybe the wolf fight but even that turned out fine. The final scene where Claire is revealed to be pregnant made me roll my eyes into the back of my skull. The only character I thought was interesting, Geillis Duncan, was killed pretty early on, though maybe through timetravelly magic she'll come back, but I probably won't be reading any more of this series. I did start watching the show, maybe I'll fare better with that. ( ) CaitrionaLaoise | Feb 18, 2021 | Within just a few pages the historical inaccuracies started to drive me up a wall, but the story held my interest until the love interests got married and the story lurched from one steamy sex scene to the next and lost any sort of coherent plot. Lots of smut, no plot, bad history. I didn't finish it. (  ) ColourfulThreads | Feb 18, 2021 |
 I absolutely loved this book. It was filled with action, adventure, and romance. I flew through the book and can't wait to read the rest of the series. Een jonge, Engelse vrouw loopt kort na de Tweede Wereldoorlog tijdens een wandeling in de Schotse Hooglanden door een gespleten monoliet die deel uitmaakt van een magische cirkel. Hierdoor komt ze terecht in het turbulente Schotland van 1743 en trouwt om aan een wisse dood te ontsnappen een vogelvrij verklaarde Sejot. Beiden worden opgejaagd door een sadistische kapitein van de Engelse dragonders, maar kunnen na tal van avonturen en in het besef dat de loop van de geschiedenis veranderd kan worden, een nieuw bestaan opbouwen. Een fascinerende historische roman, waarin de auteur liefde, seks, romantiek, spanning en avontuur tot een boeiend geheel heeft samengevoegd. Goede tekening van de historische achtergrond. Een meeslepend verhaal. Contingut aContéTé l'adaptacióHa inspiratTé una guia de referència/complement
Hurtled back through time more than two hundred years to Scotland in 1743, Claire Randall finds herself caught in the midst of an unfamiliar world torn apart by violence, pestilence, and revolution and haunted by her growing feelings for James Fraser, a young soldier.
