I also love the level of detail she brings, whether it’s medicine, battle, clothes, etc.Ĭlaire and Jamie don’t have much time to get to know each other in Book 1, but they do here. But at the same time she’s so insightful. Yes, she can be long-winded and extremely melodramatic at times. I’m reminded all over again how much I love Gabaldon’s writing. I’m about halfway in and loving the book, especially the relationship development between Claire and Jamie. The show is a little more fun because at least you get amazing costumes. The people are horrible and their lives are horrible. On the other hand, and as much as I personally love France, pre-revolutionary France is not my favorite setting. Claire and Jamie have one mission and they’re doing their best to carry it out. This one’s more focused, has more character development and a great plot. The other books move slowly and have a ton of different plot points. On the one hand it’s probably Gabaldon’s best STORY in the series, except maybe Book 1. I’ve always felt a little conflicted about this book. This picture is what my book looks like, which I bought in the mid-90s (!). I’ve been binge-reading Book 2 of the Outlander series, Dragonfly in Amber, and also watching the show.
