I couldn't finish this book. It is far too full of sexual assault, female submission, abuse, and anti-gay sentiment. At first I thought that I could deal with it, but these aspects only got more pronounced in time. I was warned by some friends that it would only get worse; for the sake of my own mental wellbeing, I have no desire to find out for myself. Gabaldon took a promising concept and made it unbearable to read.
