This story didn’t really grab me, I was intrigued by the general plot of the book but spent a lot of the book not quite gripped in the story. I don’t know if I just didn’t feel attached to the characters enough to truly love the book, but I did enjoy it overall, I hope I enjoy the Lord John series more than I’ve enjoyed the Outlander novellas so far.
I think part of my lack of love for the Outlander novellas could probably be based on the fact that I listened to both audiobooks while sick and in a bit of brain fog, plus I was also running on a bit of a time crunch to finish this audiobook before it was removed from my library, I managed to finish it at 11:40pm when it was due to leave my library at midnight. Wish I loved the novellas as much as the main storyline but I guess I can’t love every book I read 🤷♀️

I did start off enjoying this novella more than I expected given that I didn’t think I would care about these relatively minor characters in the Outlander universe. The issue (and I can’t believe I’m about to say this about something written by Diana Gabaldon) is that it should have been longer. It should have just been a novel in and of itself. It seemed like we got some good development at the beginning, but then as soon as Hal catches Minnie in the middle of the act, everything went way too fast and felt incredibly rushed.
