I loved the book I couldn’t put it down

Awesome!

This was one of my favorite books (if not the best) in the series. So glad I wasn’t disappointed and feel settled after finishing this long series.

So many twists and turns. I hope there will be a continuation after ‘Written in My Own Blood. ‘ Thank You so much for this wonderful adventure.

I am obsessed with the Outlander series. Truly!! I read all 8 back to back and can hardly wait for #9!! Whatever will I do until it comes out?

While I have enjoyed reading these 8 novels, I feel like the author ultimately “lost” Claire’s character. Claire’s unique way of looking at the world which was so riveting in the first 3 books, and her 20th century outlook and voice, has been long silenced. I am tired of hearing her repetitious trite words....”I love you Jamie”....and “Sweetheart” when referring to her patients. Equally annoying is her ‘oath’ constantly thrown in the reader’s face as an excuse for her own inaction. Additionally, Lord John’s character has lost his depth of compassion, and he has become superficial. I hope the 9th book will surprise me and bring the characters back to the outstanding depth and realistically human thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams that they possessed early on and which made reading about them worthwhile. Frankly, throughout...I wanted to get back to Bree, Roger, Jim, and Mandy in the 1980s and their more interesting plot line, hoping for SOME research on their part that would make the plot development interesting and to introduce clues in support of what was happening in 1778. Unfortunately, that never materialized.

I tried to leave a lengthy review on the outlander but also including the whole series. I had a lot to say but this page would not let me submit. I will keep trying because I think you’d want to see what I wrote. And just so you know the whole series is absolutely beyond wonderful! Thank you and I am so looking forward to your next book.

Excellent book. The series have been extremely good. I had started with watching the first three parts of outlander on TV. Then decided to read all the books before I watched more. I love seeing the sequencing difference in the two. I can’t wait to watch the other parts of Outlander and compare more. Both are highly recommended!!! The reading first then watching gives it a perspectively difference that makes since for both. Enjoy!!!

Reading the Outlander novels is not like reading a story, though there is a story line, it's like having the rare privilege of looking into another persons life. The story is fascinating, but what makes it readable after 1000+ pages is the author makes you apart of the ordinary in extraordinary circumstance. I can't wait until the ninth book is finished.

I had to read it again!!
