![]() Top Five Books of 2013 (1,006) » 8 more No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() This one and Dragonfly in Amber were both really good, but probably my least favorites of the Outlander books I've read/listened to so far. I still got sucked in toward the end and read chunks of it when I wasn't commuting to and from work, but it was a bit slow in parts and way too focused on Brianna's lactating breasts! Finally! It’s been 84 years, but I’m done. This book was long. It was very slow and it was very boring. At the same time, there were parts that were very good. Parts that had me barely able to breathe, they were so good. Unfortunately, those parts were few and far between. The moments between Jamie and Claire were great, as expected. But there was a lot of this book dedicated to Roger and Bree and I didn’t enjoy reading about them. Fortunately, there were enough major events to make a fifth season of the television series worthwhile. I actually can’t wait to see some of this book played out on screen. And I hope they leave out the boring parts. Belongs to SeriesOutlander (5) Is contained inContainsAwardsDistinctions
