lochnessvhs's review against another edition

4.5

This might be my favorite in the series thus far (save the first)! Absolutely packed to the gills with domesticity, emotion, and medical content (which are the things I love about these books) and very light on the politics and battles, despite it happening during the American Civial War.

I was honestly shocked at the turn of events near the end. I likely should have expected it, but I was so cozy on Fraser's Ridge with everyone it hadn't crossed my mind.

The only thing that holds this back from a perfect score is the unfortunate amount of r*pe and SA that occur. Sadly not new themes in Outlander books, but truly the instances here added nothing to the story, and made no significant changes to character or plot.

thetrashchan's review against another edition

Claire gets raped and I could not bring myself to read more trauma.

Honestly I'm ready to give up on the series, even after all time I've invested.

janiscox's review

Too painful to continue. Showcasing very conservative values on gender and had a scene bordering on explaining why domestic abuse is justified.
