Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach\u2014an \u201coutlander\u201d\u2014in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord\u20261743.<\/p>\n<p>Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and shatter her heart. For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire\u2014and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.<\/p>\n<p> <em><strong>Trigger Warnings:<\/strong> abuse, rape, violence, sexual assault, sexual abuse, suicide tendencies, murder<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Diversity Tags:

I postponed it for so long, but today is the time I do it. A side of me was afraid that the review I\u2019m about to write wouldn\u2019t live up to the book itself. This 800-page dictionary has been one of the most touching, emotional and action-packed books I have ever read in my life, and even if it took me a month to get through, I would do it all over again. There are so many things I loved, and I will tell you all about them.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#863b34;\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>\u201cYou\u2019re tearin\u2019 my guts out, Claire.\u201d<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>First off, let me tell you a bit about the plot, pacing, and all of that fun stuff. The story follows Claire Randall, a woman who was born in the early 19th century. She ended up in the 17 hundreds after travelling through a circle of stones. Basically, this whole book is about Claire Randall and her journey in the new realm she ended up in. The book is action-packed, and after reaching the 200-page mark, it gets even better. The book is structured in three parts, and the first one is ok-ish, the second one is grabbing, and by the time you reach the third part, you can\u2019t put the book down. The pacing is just at the right speed, not too relaxed and not too fast.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2505\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/outlander-stones\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/outlander-stones.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"600,343\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"outlander-stones\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/outlander-stones.jpg?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/outlander-stones.jpg?w=600\" width=\"600\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/outlander-stones.jpg?w=600\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/outlander-stones.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/outlander-stones.jpg?w=150 150w, https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/outlander-stones.jpg?w=300 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><figcaption>Claire Randall before going through the circle of stones. Picture taken from the first season of the Outlander series.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Diana\u2019s style of writing isn\u2019t hard to understand, but at the same time, not suitable for a younger audience. Outlander is a historical fiction book with subtle elements of fantasy and science fiction meant to be read by adults. Also, this can be easily seen from the themes Diana chose to tackle. It deals with rape, sexual abuse, violence and all that stuff. There is no way a 14-year-old can read this without being left with nightmares. Aside from this, the writing quality is exquisite, and there is no reason you shouldn\u2019t read the book if you are an adult.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#863b34;\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>\u201cI can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours.

The main action takes place in Scotland, a country that I have always loved deeply. I was always intrigued by their history and customs. The first book in the series takes a deeper dive into the clans\u2019 history and their ways of living. The peak of this info is in the third book, but I won\u2019t say more, as I do not want to spoil anybody.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2506\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/doune-castle\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/doune-castle.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,803\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D40X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1264757077&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;22&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"doune-castle\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/doune-castle.jpg?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/doune-castle.jpg?w=739\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" src=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/doune-castle.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/doune-castle.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/doune-castle.jpg?w=150 150w, https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/doune-castle.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/doune-castle.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/doune-castle.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Castle Leoch, one of the locations where the show was filmed (season 1).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Claire is an English woman in the land of Scots, so, understandably, most of the other characters speak in Scottish slang. It can be a bit overwhelming at first, but as you start reading and get used to it, it will be enjoyable. Throughout my reading, I switched between the audiobook and the paperback quite a lot, and I have to admit, the usage of the Scottish slang, made the story come alive. It enhanced my reading experience, and I wouldn\u2019t change it for the world.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#863b34;\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>\u201cYe werena the first lass I kissed,\u201d he said softly. \u201cBut I swear you\u2019ll be the last.\u201d<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I was always passionate about witchcraft and paganism. I told you before that Outlander has subtle elements of fantasy and science fiction, but if you ask me, the book can\u2019t fit any of these genres. What I want to tell you about is the fact that witchcraft is going to be a major plot point in the second part of the book. You\u2019ll see that what is about to happen will leave you speechless and you wouldn\u2019t be more torn apart. This book is full of emotions, and you\u2019ll get to a point where you cry out of happiness.

Let\u2019s start with the main ones and after, go through the secondary ones.\u00a0<strong>Claire\u00a0<\/strong>is the main character, and she is A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN who doesn\u2019t take shit from others. Also, she is a bit sassy, and her humour warms my heart. Don\u2019t get me wrong, this book is not a comedy book, but sometimes you can\u2019t help yourself but laugh out loud. Next is\u00a0<strong>Jamie<\/strong>, and I loved what chemistry he and Claire had. From the first few moments they had together, I knew they would be the most everything couple I\u2019ve ever encountered. Jamie is a thoughtful man, and he cares for Claire deeply. I think that Jaime and Claire promoted a healthy relationship despite the things they went through. Now, I\u2019m going to talk about a little spoiler, if you want you can pass through, but it won\u2019t affect your reading experience if you decide to read the book.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2516\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/12ae829b827370138e46faedc763d7df\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12ae829b827370138e46faedc763d7df.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"870,870\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"12ae829b827370138e46faedc763d7df\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12ae829b827370138e46faedc763d7df.jpg?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12ae829b827370138e46faedc763d7df.jpg?w=739\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12ae829b827370138e46faedc763d7df.jpg?w=870\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2516\" width=\"604\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12ae829b827370138e46faedc763d7df.jpg?w=604 604w, https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12ae829b827370138e46faedc763d7df.jpg?w=150 150w, https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12ae829b827370138e46faedc763d7df.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12ae829b827370138e46faedc763d7df.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/dailydooseofbooks.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12ae829b827370138e46faedc763d7df.jpg 870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\"\/><figcaption>Jamie and Claire as a sweet couple. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Now, I\u2019m going to talk about a little spoiler, if you want you can pass through, but it won\u2019t affect your reading experience if you decide to read the book.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>So, Claire did a reckless thing and put the life of Jamie and the others in danger. In the end, everything was alright, and everybody got to the castle safe. The problem is that Jamie decided to punish Claire for disobeying him by beating her. Of course, I do not agree with that type of behaviour, but we also have to remember that the action took place in the 17th century. You\u2019ll see that in the end, he revised his behaviour and became a better person. I do think that the scene I told you about, even if it wasn\u2019t pleasant to read, was necessary to the development of the characters. I am indeed a tad conflicted about the need of that part, and I still do not know how to relate to the whole thing. <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>End of spoiler<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The next character I want to talk about is the main antagonist,\u00a0<strong>Jonathan \u2018Black Jack\u2019 Randall<\/strong>.
