Description

This stunning blend of historical romance and time traveling adventure has captured the hearts of millions of readers around the world and catapulted author Diana Gabaldon to the top of the New York Times best seller list. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love.

In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. Their blissful reunion is shattered when she touches a boulder in an ancient stone ruin and is instantly transported to 1743 Scotland, a place torn by war and raiding border clans. Will Claire find her way back to her own time, or is her destiny forever linked with Clan MacKenzie and the gallant James Fraser?

Don't be tricked

This is an out of date 'bodice ripper' that is endlessly long and the narrator makes the heroine sound like a shrew. The only reason this book rose out of the ashes of time is because Netflix decided to make a series from it. Not worth a good credit.

Love this book!

The story is AMAZING!! The narrator's tone and story telling is wonderful. At first I didn't care for the narrator's voice (it sounded a little too grand mother like) but it kind of grow on me and I ended up liking it.

Better than expected but containing one fatal flaw

3.5*
I wasn’t aware this was anything more than historical romance, so was pleasantly surprised that it was such a hybrid. More historical accuracy than I’d expected as well. Touches on Scottish mythology and superstitions, has jailbreaks and rebel Scotts and political intrigue. Of course, sex and sexuality, and gender roles are central—to its benefit and detriment.

This would have been an easy 4 stars for me if it didn’t rely so heavily on the presence of sexual assault. Especially in the first three quarters of the novel. Seems like anytime Claire screws up she’s threatened with rape from all sides. Even backstory of other characters involve rape.

It’s very preoccupied with it, and I guess because it sets up the main sort of stakes as to whether or not Claire will be with her “real” husband or her Scottish one, the stakes are also sexualized? It just made me desensitizing toward the issue and felt incredibly lazy as it went on. The fact that men were threatened with it as well mildly breaks from the trope I suppose, but come on.

Not sure if I’ll continue with the series or not. Might give the show a chance instead.

*Spoiler warning*
The largest gripe I have, though, is Randall himself and the homophobia. Randall is revealed to essentially just be an evil gay also in love with Jamie. The contrasts between Randall as an ancestor and Claire’s husband is maybe semi interesting?

Men reacting to power dynamics and war differently. But there’s certainly no positive depictions of gay men and uhh she was spirited away on magical rocks that are not even historically present, so saying it’s all for historical accuracy is bs. Especially when she herself is challenging gender roles and expectations and Jamie seemingly seems written to break stereotypes of how a male love interest might be depicted.

The Duke is also always laughed at and the subject of open ridicule and he empowers Randall to do as he does. Extremely suspect and bumped down my rating because it hampered my enjoyment.

Most Wordy Book ever

I will not waste more time on this series. So many words to say the same thing over and over. This is a romance novel at its worst with a bit of history thrown in. I really don't know why it is rated so highly.

Great story. Frustrating narration.

Story is great but the narrator mispronounces almost every Gaelic word / name. Listening to her pronounce plaid as played, Laoighaire as Leer, Geillis as Geelee, dunn as done and so on and so forth. It gets old quickly.

Phenomenal!!! A Truly Epic Journey

I simply couldn't stand to put this down. I was hanging on every word. The relationship and undying love for one and other that develops between Claire and Jamie is so romantically exquisite but not unbelievable. It even encouraged me to strive to improve my marriage and regain the passionate love we used to have.

This book touched on every human emotion. I didn't simply read/ listen to it, I experienced this book.

The only thing that remotely bothered me was the was how the narrator used two different pronunciations for both Geillis Duncan and Laoghaire McKensie. I found that to be a little distracting.

All and all, I can't wait for the following series!

couldn't get past the narrator

The story may be good but the narrator turned me off. Too formal and stuffy.

atrocious

There must only have been one option available but even then, to ruin an entire series with that vile voice and infantile accents is crazy.
