As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, though, part of my problem is that I’ve never been a fan of the Lord John Grey spin-off series, and Lord John and his family have played an increasingly large part in these most recent novels when I would prefer to be reading about other characters. In this book, the final sequence – 100 pages or so – is excellent, but to get there you have to persist through 800 pages of irrelevant subplots that seem to lead nowhere and minor characters we barely know suddenly given large storylines of their own.
This is the ninth Outlander novel and the last one that I really enjoyed was the sixth since then, each book has felt longer and less substantial than the one before.
Sometimes I wonder why I’m continuing to read this series.
