Outlander by Diana Gabaldan

by 2 Comments

I found myself in France last year in an apartment for a week and they had “French Netflix” which mostly just meant that they had less, but different things for us to watch. My wife had already watched season 1 (and maybe 2) of Outlander and so we started where she left off while I peppered her with lots of questions to fill me in on what I missed. I missed a lot and still the show was decidedly compelling. The novel is even more compelling. […]

Finally caught up! #CBRBingo

I liked this one as much as I liked Dragonfly in Amber and Drums of Autumn. A definite improvement over the last several books, although I did enjoy #7 as well, if not quite as much.

That last sentence should hopefully provide some understanding as to why it took me so long […]

Long Book is Long

by Leave a Comment

This book covers the longest period of time in all of the Outlander books to date and it was noticeable. Despite going on many side adventures all over North Carolina, the Frasers et al are largely based on their land at Fraser’s Ridge in both this book and the one that proceeded it, The Fiery Cross. Because so much time has been spent on the Ridge, a lot of time is spent with its various inhabitants. They’re often not treated as on-going concerns with true throughlines throughout the […]
