In the opening chapters

I was skeptical that the series was for me. I thought it was a time travel fantasy, but it's really more of a historic highlander romance. I didn't want to like or even read a historic highlander romance - I enjoy making fun of them too much! Still, I had (foolishly?) purchased the 7-book series, so there's no way I was going to abandon it less than 1% of the way through! It took a couple of books for me to forgive the main character for her actions in the opening chapters of the first book, but I did eventually. I think she paid penance, and then some.

And as you go on, the time travel starts to creep back into the books. In the end, they're still not time travel fantasies. They're definitely romances, but romances for fans of fantasy, I think.

I'm not sure if I'd buy a 7-book fantasy series all together again. I know I COULD have theoretically stopped between the books (Kindle did let me know when I was moving between books), but I couldn't really! It would be like abandoning some friends in the wilderness! I even jumped and (this time borrowed from the library) the 8th book as soon as finishing this.
