I started reading this book about 5 years ago, in 2017. And then, I put it down for a while. Picked it back up the following summer and then put it down about the time school started again. Picked it up once in 2020. Picked it up and really read a bunch during 2021, then put it down in the fall again. Read it a little in the summer of 2022, but then didn’t pick it up again till this past year as I began to get ready for my trip to Scotland for an Outlander tour. At that point I was sucked back in. Especially as there was a line that showed up in the current season of the show that was actually from this book. And then there were so many sites in the book that were ones on my tour, so it was neat to be reading about them as I was visiting them, even if I had seen them on the tv show already. Season 2 was not my favorite of all of the tv series, so I guess it makes sense I didn’t want to just devour this. But I am now starting book 3 and hoping I’ll move along much quicker with it! So this only got rated a 4.5 because it took me so long to get through, but that’s kind of my own fault maybe?
